Please help! Multi-boot option not working anymore
q5485;1043544 Wrote: Hi Chad & SIW2 Many thanks for your suggestions. It finally worked. I now have vista home premium working on my C: drive. I entered vistaboot pro on my c: drive and changed the bootloader so that I have the option of selecting an OS (Vista or XP). I think I am back to square one, where I started. When I select the XP system (now listed on D Drive), I see the list of drivers being executed followed by the Windows logo. After a few seconds, the system crashes and restarts. In other words, I don't see "Welcome to Windows" on a blue background. How do I repair the Win XP Pro installation? If you can help me in that regard, that would be great. I am happy though that I did get the vista back, and it's all due to your efforts. Thank you ONCE AGAIN!!! Also, what are things I can do to prevent such a recurrence? Backups of what? Any other suggestion that you can think of (in addition to steps for repairing my xp pro)? Kash Hi kash, Glad you are back in Vista now. Particularly as you don't have a Vista install dvd, it's a good idea to make an image of the partition and keep it somewhere safe. You could keep it on another partition, an external hd is better, if you have one. The free version of this will do it very well. Also run off the recovery cd it prompts you to, as you can boot into that, find the stored image and restore it. 'Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download' (http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp) You can make a new image every so often so it's not too out of date and delete previous ones if you need the space. Hope it helps SIW2 -- SIW2 |
