lost dual boot mode, can I recover it?
Is there a way to recover the files needed for dual booting (Win7 and XP)? When I tried unsuccessfully to install a SSD, I had multiple instances of the NTLDR getting hosed. I eventually discovered that I could repair the file with my recovery disk. Before this, I could boot to Win7 or XP by selecting from the Windows 7 created menu at bootup. Now I can only boot Win7. I tried to solve the problem with EasyBCD, but it didn't work (I couldn't figure out what had to be done). I have some safe images of my old installation that presumably have the proper boot files on them. I would like to know what files to find and where to copy them. I do not want to install the full images, since they were made a long time ago and I would end up with days of work trying to recover.
Can I get back to dual booting (the XP partition is intact) by copying some files from my images to the proper place? If so, what files do I copy and where do I put them?
