XP + Seven: Boot Manager missing on XP
Hello all,
I use XP on my machine with two 300 GB HDs configured as RAID1 (Nvidia NForce 570 SLI). There are two partitions C (100 GB) for system and D (remaining 200 GB) for data. All is working fine.
Now I try to install Windows 7. First I resized D by 100 GB and installed W7 on this new partition. I updated the Nvidia NForce RAID driver and can see correctly my RAID under W7.
My problem now is that if I start my computer always the old XP boots up.
The Boot Manager is not present. The only way I can boot W7 is to insert the
W7 installation DVD (and not pressing any key) then W7 is booting.
The boot manager is present but only on this new W7 partition. I already tried (using EasyBCD under W7) to add the old XP as a second entry in the Boot Manager but I was not able to boot XP using the boot manager.
I see the XP-Partition under W7 and vice versa but it seems to be impossible to use the boot manager.
How can I install the W7 Boot Manager on my XP-partition, thus I will be able to
choose whether to boot XP or W7.
Thanks in advance for any hints.
