Problem starting pc with dual boot XP-Windows 7
Hi everyone,
First of all please forgive me for my English as is not my native language.
Yesterday I installed Windows 7 on a hard drive which had XP previously. During the installation procedures everything went OK after I updated and installed some programs to test the new OS including a couple of games. After that I tested booting the previous OS, that is XP. Everything worked fine as well, even switching both Operating systems a couple of times during the rest of the day.
The problem began today when I turned on the PC for the first time and the black sceren with the option to select an OS wouldn´t respond until Windows 7 booted itself. But after a couple of minutes the PC was frozen, including mouse and keyboard, so I had to force restart the pc and it all worked fine ´till I turned the PC off.
After a couple of hours when I started the PC back on the exact same situation happened again. Pc no responding at first, just after restart.
One thing to add, which I don´t know if is relevant, is that I have 2 hard drives, one for the operating systems and another just for data.
Any kind of help will be very welcome. Thanks in advance!
