Dual boot nightmare
I recently had windows 7 ultimate installed okay, so I decide to install windows xp ultimate as a dual boot...easy yes...well I burnt an img file of XP to a bootable dvd right..I restart my computer boot from dvd and proceed to install XP...1 problem I forgot to partition the drive before installing and I for some reason did not notice and I installed the OS to the HP: recovery drive if anyone is familiar with that it comes as a extra drive with most HP computers as a backup drive. the OS failed to install for some strange reason and now when I restart it prompts me to windows Xp loading screen and does not allow me to change between dual boot..After the loading screen i get the blue screen of death basically telling me i should CHKDSK my drive and so on. This repeats itself as it restarts my computer over and over...Any hints on how I can fix the corruoted OS so I can load my windows 7 again without losing all my data? Would be greatly appreciated
