Unable to dual boot vista+xp
Hi,
My Compaq V3000 laptop came with Vista installed. I wanted to install XP as well. I followed the steps given here http://apcmag.com/5023/dual_booting_xp_with_vista Now I have got Vista in C: and XP in D: drive. Also when I start the system I do get two options of booting in Vista and XP. The problem is that I am unable to boot in XP (it boots properly in Vista). When I see my D: drive in Vista, I can see all the XP system folders (Program Files, WINDOWS etc). I think that XP is installed properly but, somehow the XP boot record seems to be corrupted. Is it correct? The following is from EasyBCD View settings option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are a total of 2 entries listed in the Vista Bootloader. Bootloader TimeOut: 30 seconds. Default OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Entry #1 Name: Microsoft Windows Vista BCD ID: {current} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe Windows Directory: \Windows Entry #2 Name: Microsoft Windows XP BCD ID: {ntldr} Drive: D:\ Bootloader Path: \ntldr ----------------------------------------------------------------- Does it give any clue as to what could be wrong and how to get XP working as well? Thanks. |
