I was going to recover some data from a drive that came out of a Win7 computer. Put it in a usb enclosure hooked it up to my xp box and the drive didn't mount. I restarted the xp box and instead of booting to xp the computer tries to boot into win7. Win7 boot manager says there is a problem with the disc and can't finish booting. shutdown. I disconnect the win7 drive and startup the xp box, I'm greeted with the win7 boot manager with a message about how a device is missing and something has changed.... cant boot up.
After much poking around it appears windows 7 has placed it's BCD files on my xp box and thinks its apart of a win7 installation. Boot.ini file is still there with correct info. how can I get rid of this windows boot manager and get back to my xp box?
