Incompatibility issue with Windows XP (Dual Boot)
Has anyone experienced having trouble booting to any of these two OS (7 and XP) after dual booting them? Cause I did. I decided to dual boot this PC which originally has Windows 7 Ultimate as OS with XP so that I'd be able to use Visual Basic 6.0 for school. I managed to dual boot the two with the help of a 3rd party software (EasyBCD 1.7.2). XP works just fine, but 7, on the other hand, has been randomly freezing when I'm using it. Booting 7 is also becoming a chore after encountering its first freeze. I had to had Windows 7 installation disc repair the start-up of 7 just to use it. It happened several times until it came to the point where 7 no longer boots at all. The same thing happened to XP as well after it first encountered its first freeze.
I am thinking of hardware issue with the freezing (specifically the RAM), but being unable to boot with any of the two is already a software issue in my own personal perspective. Can anyone help me clarify what the problem in this PC is?
