thrash-boy Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Ill try to keep it short. After school today i booted up the computer. I left it while i got a drink and it booted into windows 7 RC automatically as usual. I came back and logged on and everything was fine. when i reached the desktop it froze (never happened before). I turned it off at the power button and booted back up, expecting all to be good, but it wasnt. Before i even reached to OS selection screen i get a disc read error. After alot of [bleep]in around i finally got it booting (using the win 7 beta disc, the win 7 RC disc kept spitting out errors and i didnt get a xp disc with the computer). but now it just boots straight to windows 7, and i dont get the chance to select xp. ive tried fixing again with the Rc disc but it doesn't work. I dont think the xp partion is corrupted, its still recognized as a disc in windows 7 and i can browse its files as normal, but it doesn't recognize xp as a OS. how do i fix it?

sloter Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I take it your trying to add XP back to the windows boot loader. Try using a program called EasyBCD to add XP back to the boot loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
