    Download this bootsect7600x86.zip
    Open that zip file. inside is an exe file. Put that exe file in C:\windows\system32 on winxp system

    Tell me when done.
    When done:
    close windows explorer and close all open files on D (if any).

    in command prompt:
    Code:
    bootsect/nt60  D:  /force
    bootsect/nt60  D:  /force  /mbr
    Both successfull?
    This puts the win7 MBR on physical disk. First command updates the "volume bootsector" of D, so it loads bootmgr (instead of winxp ntldr).

    I had better cherck with you before I do something wrong. I downloaded the bootsect7600x86 (44kb zipped), unzipped it and it gave me a program bootsect (101kb), but I cannot extract any exe file from this, or is bootsect the exe file you mean? So do I just put "bootsect" in C:\windows\system32 (on a XP system)?

    If bootsect.exe is on C:\windows\system32 on winxp machine it's fine.

    I´m afraid I got stuck again, , I try to put "bootsect" (in C:\WINDOWS\system32>bootsect) then RETURN and get the message bootsect is not a valid command. As I mentioned above, after unzipping the downloaded file, I get a bootsect program, on my list, but no ending .exe , is something wrong? Trying to work out this (unsuccesfully) took me quite a long time.

    In windows explorer you don't see extensions like xls, doc, exe etc!!! Unless you enable it.
    Do it in command prompt!!

    Code:
     
    C:
    CD \windows\system32
    dir bootsect

    dir/s d:\bootsect
    Where the heck did you place it?
