    bcdedit - ntldr not found


    Hi, I've been trying to modify the W7 bootmanger to show my XP drive.
    I have XP on D: (sata)
    W7 on C: (ide)

    These are the changes I made to the default

    bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "XP"
    bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=D:
    bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr
    bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addfirst
    bcdedit /default {ntldr}
    bcdedit /timeout 5

    Everything worked apart from when XP was selected it gives the error NTLDR is missing or corrupt.
    However I am able to boot XP if I change it to the primary boot drive in the BIOS.

    I also tried setting it to C, just in case the drive lettering was incorrect according to W7.

    Any ideas on why this isn't working?

    Download EasyBCD 1.7.2 - NeoSmart Technologies and make changes to the boot mgr the way you want.
