I have a problem with dual boot. After opening win7 , when i want to switch to xp the computer restarts after i select "microsoft xp" in the boot screen b4 i can see any icon. It also does the same in the opposite way. Any1 have this problem b4?
Really not enough information here to give any help. Did it work before? Did you just install Windows 7 and it doesn't work? Are they installed on different hard drives? Are they installed on the same hard drive, different partitions? If installed on the same partition, not gonna work. If you installed Windows 7 after then it should pick up the installation and set up the boot menu to work correctly.
i firstly installed xp , then win7. They are on the same hard disk but in different partition. XP is x86 , win7 is x64. it never worked properly. What else do you need? i also have no problems with boot screen. I installed EasyBCD
Did you ever resolve this dual boot restart problem? I am experiencing exactly the same thing and would appreciate any help
I have a multi SATA board. (8 infact,counting E-SATA). The easiest way i find to have more than one OS,2,3 or maybe 4 including MAC OSX is to have them on different drives alltogether. Load each OS onto it's own drive without any other drive being plugged in. Then plug em all in and in the BIOS select whith hard drive to boot first. No mess no fuss.Easy..
I am using a laptop with only one HD. I cannot understand why I have had no problem like this with the many other dual or triple boot systems I have set up.
