I suggest you download and install easyBCD and use it to find your other OS and repair your boot manager

U beat me to it, I had the tab open but was reading other posts

EasyBCD says its fixed the MBR but i still dont have dual boot

Looks like i will have to reinstall Windows 7

Hi matt0978 :)

Er first OS is XP Pro on HDD-0 second OS is on HDD-1 Windows 7 (never had Vista )

Well i have Windows 7 back but lost XP (but not bothered about that) but .... my two HDDs are both the same W/D 250gb as Windows 7 is on my second HDD coming off SATA no2 header on my MOBO should i swap the cables so the HDD that holds Windows 7 becomes HDD-0 ? (need some advice please :))
