Dual boot windows 7 and XP Error while trying to install XP
Here's the situation. I already have windows 7 64 bit Ultimate edition installed. I wanted to install a second OS together with my windows 7. I followed this guide,Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP to the letter. I managed to install windows xp without any problems. But the thing is, it was 64bit, I realised i needed a 32 bit version. I uninstalled it, removed XP from EasyBCD. So, I tried to install a 32 bit windows xp using the same method. The installation was copying the files to install and rebooted. But then, I wasn't able to get past beyond that. My MBR was somehow screwed up. I repaired it with my windows 7 recovery disk. Problem solved. But I still couldn't install XP. So I tried to install XP using a USB - Install XP from USB - Tutorials - reboot.pro But this time, after the installation files were copied and my computer was rebooted, it gave me an error,
WINDOWS ROOT>\SYSTEM32\NTOSKRNL.EXE IS CORRUPT OR MISSING
I tried repairing the NTOSKRNL.exe with the cmd inside of the windows xp installation disk. Still not working... I also tried 5 different XP disks.
I'm really out of ideas, I need help.
