dual booting xp and 7 (problem with volumes)

[jubalharshaw]

Hello,

I just installed Win XP Professional 64 bit on a separate volume from my windows 7, and now that volume is listed as "boot" and I can't boot back into my windows 7. How do I change which volume boots? There is no boot manager when I turn on my laptop

thanks,
Jubal

This is going to be hard, either you have to obtain a boot manager software. I installed while windows XP was installed, so when I installed windows 7 on a separate volume it made the boot manager which had two booting choices:

1. Earlier version of windows (Windows XP)
2. Windows 7 (Default)
