    Yeah but in EasyCD, it asks for a drive letter. I choose the drive that XP is installed on. So shouldn't it be able to find it?

    So let's say I add the NTLDR to my win7 system, will that solve my problem?

    Ok so I installed EasyBCD 2.0.0.64. I did the same steps as I did in the older version. It asked me if I wanted it to copy the NTLDR over and reconfigure the booting so I can use dual boot. I said yes. Then when I restarted to try and boot into XP it gave me the error saying file missing or corrupt (NTLDR).

    You really need the XP bootfiles to be on the 100mb partition . Give it a drive letter.

    Let Easybcd add the XP entry again and autoconfigure.
