Windows XP/7 Dual Boot Issue
I installed Windows 7 on a partition without a hitch and the bootloader appeared to be working fine initially, but after trying to boot into XP I ran into some issues:
When trying to boot into XP, i get the error message that the file \ntldr is missing or corrupt. After researching for a little bit, it seems that booting from an XP disc in repair mode should fix the problem.
However, my second problem came up while trying to do that: any XP disc I try to boot from gives me this error: INF file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing, status 18. I've tried an SP3 CD as well as SP2 and SP3 from my thumb drive - all with the same error. I've checked each ISO and they all contain txtsetup.sif.
I'm running EasyBCD and I've tried every available combination of drive/operating system. I either end up having to fix 7 through bcdedit in the command prompt or booting 7 fine, but no access to XP no matter what I do.
I read all 13 pages of the dual boot sticky and nothing in there helped me.
Suggestions?
