    Cant boot Server 2003 after having installed Windows 7


    Hello guys

    Hope you can help me with this, because I really need to get my Server 2003 running, as that is working platform (need it for my job).

    I had three operating systems in my computer: Ubunt, Win XP and Win Server 2003. Grub was the booting program, that offers you go to Windows loader. When I selected this, I could choose between XP and Server 2003, according to XP boot.ini file.

    Yesterday I got Windows 7 installed over XP. Everything seemed to be fine. I got back Grub booting with Super Grub. When I boot the computer I choose Windows booting, and now, Windows 7 menu is shown.

    First options here were:

    - Previous Windows version
    - Windows7

    Firtst entry did not work: when you select it the computer just hungs up doing nothing, showing nothing, totally black.

    I installed EasyBCD and tried to edit boot menu: adding new entry to be autodetected or selecting the drive, but I get just absolutely nothing. When I choose this new entry to be loaded, same result: black screen.

    These are my curent booting settings:

    There are a total of 3 entries listed in the bootloader.

    Default: Windows 7
    Timeout: 15 seconds
    Boot Drive: C:\

    Entry #1
    Name: Versi¢n anterior de Windows
    BCD ID: {ntldr}
    Drive: C:\
    Bootloader Path: \ntldr

    Entry #2
    Name: Windows 7
    BCD ID: {current}
    Drive: C:\
    Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

    Entry #3
    Name: Server 2003
    BCD ID: {18fe5dc2-7e9a-11e0-b4ef-a83f19c151fa}
    Drive: D:\
    Bootloader Path: \NST\easyldr1
    I tried also copying a regular boot.ini file (see below) into the Server 2003 partition, but all I got with this is, instead a black screen, a message saying that system in " \NST\easyldr1" cannot be loaded by some hardware/software error (no more options but to go back)

    Code:
    [boot loader]
    timeout=5
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect
    As said, I am totally desperated with this, I really need my server 2003 getting launched

    Any help will be very appreciated!!!

    Just in case it helps, here its my partition map. Although it is Spanish, I guess you can read it

    The first two are the ubuntu partitions (systema and swap), then C (win7), D (server 2003), and E (data, no system)
