Problem with Dual Boot Win 7 & XP
After installing the Windows 7 after XP, the ntldr and ntdetect.com files of XP seems to be missing. Tried copying it from Windows XP CD using Recovery Console, but still i am unable to enter into XP.
Also installed the EasyBCD and tried all possible solutions, and still problem persists. Tell me guys what should be the closest solution to this....

Well even i installed it previously w/o any problem. This only happens when i re-installed my Win 7 over the existing one(as of some system32 files corrupted). So i guess the update cause some problems to XP's boot file. I tried all the way (even a fixboot cmd in recovery console) still no use.

installing the OS doesnt take more than 20 mins but installing the reqd s/w seems to be the pain in the a$$. Even forgot to take the image backup, which in this case help to restore to an earlier point w/o any hassle...

dont worry dude...its easy.
install Vista Boot Pro
Configure the bootloader.
Thats it.
EasyBCD currently is not as functional as it used to in Vista.
Meanwhile, why dont you try Windows Xp Mode RTM in 7 Professional/Ultimate? I really like it. I use Rational Rose old copy in XP mode for activity diagrams.

Re: Problem with Dual Boot Win 7 & XP
Bootloader of XP is corrupt. Insert the XP CD. Goto repair option, provide your admin password so you can get the c:\ Then type the following in order,
fixmbr
bootcfg /scan
bootcfg /rebuild
fixboot
This should fix. If needed, try the same in 7 too.
I do this many a times, once after installing Vista, once after installing Paragon software, which created some bootloader with no options
Try it and let us know.

Re: Problem with Dual Boot Win 7 & XP
Did you copy those files to the root drive of the disk on which Windows XP is installed ?

I have heard that modifying mbr may cause data loss or partitions could get deleted. Is that true? Or just a mighty fake Myth?

Tried it, but its not working. Coz the whole 25GB(where i installed XP) contains mostly bad sectors. So deleted the partition and leave it un-formatted. Installed 7 64 bit and bye-bye for Dual Boot

Re: Problem with Dual Boot Win 7 & XP
I always fail to understand that why there is discussion of Windows Mobile 7 which is not yet released. Windows Mobile 6.5 is released and available in the market and is comparatively doing very well. Market Share is the added feature from which you can get any application, games and widgets. This mobile store is set to fulfill your application hunger.
