    okay it worked.. now i have just one more question.. i actually tried it twice.. the first didnt work.. what happened was i accidentally/stupidly pressed "add entry" twice.. so there were two entries of the XP on the multi boot menu which are not running.. i then repeated again the process "with more care" and, voila! here i am using my xp..

    now, how can i remove those 2 error entries? any ideas? can i also do it from the EasyBCD?

    much thanks...

    Hello again, good to see you getting it sorted and thanks for keeping us updated.



    When you have the time, you may find these tutorials of interest.

    These 2 are completely separate methods; just remember the Windows 4 partition limit, trying to exceed that is a real nightmare to correct for.

    Clean Install Windows 7 : Ahead of Vista


    This one is for starting from scratch and is a little advanced but it is completely possible to boot multiple OSs from Extended / Logical drives using a single Primary partition.
