I was running a dual boot setup with two XP installations, and I upgraded one to Win 7. Stupidly I forgot to back up the boot info for the XP install and 7 wiped it. I'm trying to fix this and having a hard time with it. So far I have downloaded the 3 files (boot.ini, NTDETECT, and ntldr) and placed them in C: which is the Win 7 partition. I have changed boot.ini to this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Pro" /fastdetect
I have installed EasyBCD and added the bootloader for XP, and changed it to drive D: which is the XP partition. However, this is still not working. I get both choices when booting but XP is broken and won't boot.
The Windows 7 install CD does not see the XP installation.
What do I do next?
