Issue:Windows 7 and XP dual boot(Win 7 installed First)
Hii...
I have some problem regarding Windows 7 and XP dual boot.
I have first installed Windows 7 in C Drive, after that I made 3 more partitions in the remaining space. After which I installed Windows XP Pro in F Drive which was successfully installed making Windows 7 Boot Option Obselete while booting.
I mean to say that when ever I start my system it starts with Windows XP as default, without giving any option for Windows 7.
After which I made several try to make my Window 7 to Boot but not succeed.
I have tried : The Boot.ini file changed manually of F Drive i.e. of XP as
1st Try
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 7" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
2nd Try
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 7" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
With all these efforts I got the Screen with both options for Windows 7 as well as for Windows XP while Boot, but unable to Boot with Windows 7 where as from here I can choose the Windows XP and start.
Please suggest.
