I installed a dual boot but now I cannot use XP, I used EasyBCD to try to repair but it did not work, I seem to be missing the NTLDR or it became corrupt when I went and got the three files including NTLDR and did an attrib I find even if I unhide using the -s -r -h format I cannot port over the corrupt NTLDR can anyone help, I sure could use my copy of xp
as an afterthough I cannot use the windows xp to get to the c drive but I can see all my files
thanks for any help

Let me know what happens after this:
1) open a command prompt with administrative privilages (right-click and choose "run as administrator")
2) type:
bcdedit

Now look for under WINDOWS LEGACY OS LOADER. It must resemble like this.

identifier : {ntldr}
device : partition=C: [note: C: drive which contains the Master boot record]
path : \ntldr

If it is not let me know what comes there. If posssible mail me the entire output of bcdedit

-saumitra

PS: I have both of them running, but i have done so manually using William Wilson's method.

This does not help other people looking for a similar fix,.

To the OP please post what he want's in this thread, so everyone can see what is going on...
