    messed up dual boot of XP and Seven - help please


    I have messed up my dual boot of XP Pro and Seven
    Seven was working well, but XP was playing up.
    I did a restore from an earlier acronis image of XP.
    XP now works again, but as you have guessed I have lost the dual boot menu to select Win7 when I bootup.
    I know boot.ini does not apply with Seven.
    Please tell me how to get my neatly tweaked Seven back on the boot menu,

    Thanks,
    anykey

    You can boot using your Win7 Installation DVD , go to Repair Computer and do a startup repair. Will bring back your dual boot menu.

    Hope it helps.

Long story short, my XP/7 dual boot is no longer working due to the fact that whenever I reboot, 7 automatically loads instead of giving me the option to choose XP or 7.
