Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP

Alright here are the screenshots, thanks for you response.

I have a problem booting to XP on another drive now that I installed Windows 7.

I have XP installed on one hard drive and I had Vista on another drive and upgraded to Win 7 on that drive. I used to be able to go to my bios under Boot Device Priority and change what drive I wanted to boot too and I could use XP. Now that I have Win 7 installed the XP drive is not showing up in Boot Device Priority. In my bios under Hard Disk Drives I see my XP and my Win 7 drives but when I go to Boot Device Priority I see only my Win 7 drive and one of my dvd drives. I can't find anything to change in my bios that will help show my XP drive anymore. Any advice? Would EasyBCD work for me?

Hi Brink,

It is in the bios. I get there when the computer starts and I push F2 and it goes into the bios. Then I could decide what drive I wanted to boot using Boot Device Priority. I don't know what the Windows Boot Manager is or how to get to it.

Hi guys, I've fixed the problem I had with only 3.50 of the 4GB of ram showing in win 7.
A bios flash fixed it.

The only other issue I have is it doesn't matter if I'm in xp or 7, my xp drive stays as the c drive. Not that it's much of a problem.

Thanks again to all that replied to my post.

You can do step 7 on in METHOD TWO in the tutorial on the first page here to use EasyBCD to make sure XP is added to the "Windows Boot Manager" so that you can select from either XP or Windows 7 at startup.

I got EasyBCD running and XP is listed in the Boot Mangager but when I try to load XP I get a message that File:\NTLDR is missing or corrupt.

I have same situation but am reluctant to try this fix... Microsoft site says that oldest system must be installed first for dual boot or could disable win 7 install by installing XP second... can you clarify solution?
