    Does it say ntldr is missing or something like that? I had to change the drive to C from D and it worked like a charm.

    Hi Aloguru,

    Can you post a screenshot of Disk Management, like this:

    Go into EasyBCD and change Windows XP's drive to the one you installed Windows Vista/Seven on, which in your case, is C.

    I had to same problem.

    What did you do to fix it?

    The bcd entry must relate to the partition containing XP bootfiles, this is not necessarily the same as the partition containing the XP operating system files.

    Your first post does not include a screenshot of Disk Management as requested.

    I am glad you got it fixed this time, but in future if you want people to help you, it is best to give the information they ask for.
