Dual boot problem, CANNOT LOG ON!
Hi guys, i really hope one of you can help me as i cant even log onto my PC at the moment!
So, i have windows 7 Ultimate 64-bitinstalled on harddrive C, but i have no installation disk for this. I wanted to make my PC a dual boot by installing XP home edition on the harddrive E.
I put the XP disc in while logged on in Windows 7, but it appears you cannot access the install feature as its greyed out. So then i restarted my PC and a black screen appears and it says at the top, 'Press any key to boot from CD'. So i did, and i set up XP like that. I had to make a partition on the E harddrive and installed it there. After that, i rebooted as instructed and then it asks what installation i would like to use to boot.
The options are
C: windows
or
E:WINDOWS
I have tried both but C needs a password which i have never known about or what it is. E says it will boot but goes back to the black page that says Press any key now to boot with CD, which after about 3 seconds changes to error loading operating system and it stay like that.
What must i do? I want to get rid of windows 7 and keep XP but i dont know how to do this as i cant even log on to my user at the moment!!!!
My specs are:
AMD Athlon 7750 Dual Core 2.8GHz
ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics card
4GB DDR2 RAM
Foxconn motherboard
C:30GB Memory
E:220GB Memory
After set up, it reboots and takes me to another page where it
