| | Always install older operating systems first. XP fouled up the Master Boot Record. Try doing a startup repair with a windows7 disc, if you have one, or try using EasyBCD 2.0 Strange XP is not showing as your C: drive. |

| | the 100mb reserved IS the boot record. Its no wonder it's not working right if you keep deleting it. |

| | Mark System Reserved Active then run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times to boot Windows 7. Partition - Mark as Active (Method Two) If this fails mark Windows 7 partition itself Active and run the 3 Repairs. Then install Easy BCD 2.02 to Windows 7 to Add XP to Dual Boot menu. Post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk Mgmt drive map if there are any probs once Windows 7 boots using the steps I gave you exactly.
