XP won't dual boot to Windows 7
I have Windows XP installed on C.
-I partitioned C into halves, the new partition was renamed S and its a logical ntfs.
-I then installed Windows 7 32bit onto the S partition.
Problem: The boot screen never comes up when I start my computer; its automatically goes to XP. However, if I have my windows 7 dvd inside, and I don't press a key to boot from CD/DVD, it will go straight to Windows 7.
I tried running EasyBCD on both XP and 7. XP doesn't recognize that I have another OS so EasyBCD is just greyed out (It says "The boot configuration data store could not be opened. Would you like to manually load a BCD registry?"). Windows 7 acknowledges itself in EasyBCD but can't find XP.
-To get EasyBCD in 7 to find XP I added it myself
-It worked, boot screen showed up
-But as soon as I take the 7 dvd out of the drive everything reverts back to normal
Please Help!
