After Installing XP Cant Boot to Win7 or Vista

[Sands2]

Hi

I needed a 32 bit OS for an app.

I had been running a dual boot system with Vista 64 and Win7 64.

I used to get a boot screen asking which system I wanted to boot to, now that I loaded XP I get no options and it boots straight to XP.

Is there a way to create a Boot Loader or force boot to C: or D: which are Vista and Win7 respectively?

Is this issue because I loaded the oldest OS last?

Thanks for any tips to get original two OS's back!

Boot from your windows 7 Dvd.
Then try to perform a startup recovery.
Hopefully that will fix it..

Thank you

Will Easy BCD fix this?

Or Maybe I can load a WIN7 32 and that will find the others OS in a boot manager?

Thank you both for replying with ideas on recovery methods.

I used septprince's method and used the OS dvd's recovery tools.

Was really easy!


Thanks septprince!
First time a recovery tool from the OS install disk has ever worked for me!

Win 7 and the forum rock~!
