Dual Boot

[Batman]

Ok get this, I have two partitions Win7 on C and XP on D. I reinstalled Win7 and somehow D changed from being a system boot extended partition to now a Logical Drive and wont boot my XP system.. I don't want to loose the XP system I have, I was able to make D a bootable partition once again. BUT I am unable to change the boot path, it's not pointing to winxp right now.. Anyone know how to change the path?

I have been using EasyBCD.

 

I had the same issue. Just fire up BCD (I'm using 2.0 beta) and add XP back to the Entries section, when it askes some specifics, I'm thinking I did Auto and worked like a snap. Save and restart.

Bushwack, I'm using EasyBCD build 97. What does your xp path look like? It sets mine up like this "Bootloader Path: \NTLDR" It's a invalid target..
