| | I cannot get Easy BCD to run on XP. It tells me I need to be running Vista for it to work. Is there a way around this, because I can't get windows 7 to boot without it. |

| | Hello J.Roberts, and welcome to Seven Forums. Did you install both items in step 7 METHOD TWO in XP? |

| | yes, I installed the .NET framework, then Easy BCD 1.7.2, and when I try to open easy bcd it says I must have vista installed to run the program |

| | Strange, it runs on XP for me. You might try a older version on EasyBCD to see how it works instead then. |

Me, I'm wanting to try the Dual Boot on my new Windows7 Toshiba Laptop: Toshiba 16" Laptop A505-S6981 / 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6600 A bit nervous that my Restore CD's won't work to get me back to "factory fresh"...if I can't get dual boot working. Does anyone here have experience "Restoring" back to the factory install of Windows7? Is there any reason why it wouldn't Restore after trying out the dual boot instructions? Much thanks for all the info and help  |

| | If you are concerned about the manufacturer recovery cd's - make your own recovery image. It only takes a few minutes. There a several good free programs that will do it. Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Free Edition |

| | I can't get any version of easybcd to work on XP. at the neosmart.net forums they can't help, because they say that it doesn't work with xp, which seems to be true in my case. I cannot find a way to get windows 7 to boot, and now my c drive, which was labeled as windows 7 before, is now labeled as local disk. Does that mean the install somehow got deleted? |

| | No, it just means you need to mark the 7 partition active and create the boot critical files on there. After marking it active - run startup repair from the 7 dvd 3 times. ( Twice will probabaly do ). |

| | in disk management, when I right click the drive containing vist, 'make active' is grayed out, so I cannot make it active, but it is labeled as a system drive |
