Dual boot not working
Before installing win7 I was running a dual boot XP Pro set up with each copy of XP being on it’s own disc drive. I installed win7 on one of my discs over the top of the XP system. Win7 runs fine but the copy of XP on the other drive does not boot. At startup time after I select XP in the boot menu, I get the following error messages:
Windows could not start because of a computer disc hardware problem.
Could not read from the selected disc.
I then went to the link below and did Part 2 steps 8-11. I got the same error messages. I know there is no problem with the XP disc because I recovered the XP partition on disc 1 and was able to boot up the other XP system ok
