Trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP
Hi,
Trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP, when Windows 7 was the first OS installed.
Followed the steps as per the guide. XP wouldn't boot after the first part of setup as had been suggested might happen so I booted the Windows 7 DVD, restored the MBR and BCD and it booted fine into Windows 7 again.
However trying to use EasyBCD to configure it so I can choose either Windows 7 or XP at startup (so I can carry on with the XP setup) and it just won't work.
I go through all of the steps and it appears to put the second entry into the BCD, pointing at S: where I can see ntldr and co are. However when I reboot it goes straight into Windows 7 and when I run EasyBCD the second entry has disappeared. Done this three times so far with the same result each time.
Can anyone tell me why EasyBCD does not seem to be saving the settings I give it?
