DUAL BOOT CRISIS
Ok I am in dire need of saving guys. I have to confess I am really embarrassed to be posting here because I have been in the business for 15+ years and never had something I couldn't fix myself or with a white paper or two.....
I installed Win 7 on the secondary partition of my HP laptop (Core I5 great specs...etc...etc..) today. Originally it had XP SP3 installed on it from work, which I can no longer access, and I have CRITICAL data on my XP drive that I can not loose.
I installed 7 by booting from the disc, and choose Disk 1, and the second partition. It installed fine, but killed the XP MBR I assume. When I run EasyBCD and try to add an XP Entry it tells me that there is no valid drive containing XP. It also seems that the XP partition isn't mounted??? Why in the heck would this happen and Please for the love of God someone tell me that we can fix this. Thanks guys.
