If you are still trying to add XP partitions which might have been blocked from correct Boot Menu config by the GRUM, try EasyBCD 2.0 beta which is automated. Attachment 43500

Add the XP partitions on the Add/Remove tab. It will prompt to add boot files which you should accept.

There is also an Ubuntu tab in the Add/Remove tab but I'm not sure how it works.

@gregrocker. Thank u dear friend. EasyBCD 2.0 beta did the thing. I got my D drives winXP back. The earlier stable version of EasyBCD didn't do this automatically. I was just thinking of reinstalling ubuntu to get my all entries back. But before that i tried this new beta version and it did it. However, i haven't tried to add Ubuntu,but i think it'll do it. And even if it doesn't, i don't care 4 it.

And my thanks to @coolness & @tews too. I owe a treat to all of u. Thanks 4 the inputs.

Youre welcome m8, and i hope you install and use ubuntu, cause open-source software FTW

Ya sure. I'll install Ubuntu too.... And have been using Ubuntu on my laptop since past more than 1 year. Satisfied with its working. Thank u again.

May I suggest you create a Win7 backup image (stored externally) before attempting to add Ubuntu using EasyBCD as I have no idea how it will work.

Then you have an easy path back to the working Multi-boot you have now. In fact, keeping a Backup Image of your ideal installation means you never have to reinstall again and have the ability to recover in 15 minutes.

Ya, I'll take win7 backup image too..... Thank u once again...
