Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP

Hello multibot.





You need to use the app at the link below to add a boot entry to Windows 7, do it from within W_7 and you should be good to go.


EasyBCD from NeoSmart Technologies

1)my boot menu shows like this....

Hello again.



You can remove EasyBCD and that will cause no problems; I'm glad you got it booting again.
Have a look at these tutorials at the links below, there are some answers for you; be sure if you have further questions to use this same thread so we'll know who you are.
