    Lost boot files to boot into W7


    HI
    Just now I lost boot files to boot into W7... I am running triple boot with XP, Vista and W7,.... Now I cannot boot into W7 XP and Visa are OK... I can see and access W7 drive from any of 2 OS but can not boot into it.
    How can I fix this issue?



    Someone please help me to do this, I really do not want to reinstall

    Put the Windows 7 disk in and boot off it. Look for the option to repair your installation. Works just about every time.

    Glad to have helped. Your next question is likely to be, "How do I edit this ugly list?"

    I will use Easy BCD to remove ( recovered ) and change first entry to XP

    Thanks .....
    I read it and used EasyBCD to edit entry names....
    Instead of earlier version of Windows now I have Microsoft XP Professional
    Vista stayed the same, and I removed "(recovered)" from Windows 7
