On a WinXP system, I recently added an SSD and installed Win 7. The initial problem was that I couldn't boot to Win 7 without the XP HDD hooked up and first in boot order. Working on that, I tried EasyBCD. The result of that - or perhaps an overexuberance of that - plus running System Repair, is that the Win 7 drive can now stand on its own but the XP drive doesn't show up on OS startup screen unless I've put it first in boot order. And even then it doesn't show up as XP, but as "Windows 7" (the good one shows as "Windows 7 Recovered"). Choosing "Windows 7" returns an error page that calls for running System Repair, but doing so doesn't solve the problem. I'm assuming the boot file got messed up and doesn't have the proper XP entry. XP's Recovery Console can't find any hard drives with the OS installed.
I found this forums' good tutorial on using BCDEDIT. Using an elevated command prompt and after saving the BCD file, I tried the syntax: bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=C: (XP = C drive). However, it returns an error message, "The system cannot find the file specified." NTLDR is on the roots of both the XP and Win 7 drives, and when I run "dir C:" it shows the volume "Windows XP Drive" and its contents. Any suggestions for what to try next? Thanks,
