Hi,
I was hoping someone would have encountered this issue before with a dual-boot setup. Running original windows 7 machine, installed XP on a unique partition, and set everything up. Both OS's work fine, and the windows boot manager screen has the proper selections.
When I select windows 7 from the windows boot option screen it goes into windows 7 normally. When I select XP from that screen it boots up into the system repair/recovery.
However when Im in windows 7, and use EasyBCD to reinstall the legacy boot( the xp boot ) it will boot straight into XP just fine. If I change it back to windows 7, it brings up the selection screen of the installed OS's, and then pick windows XP its right back to a "broken OS" which its not.
Im assuming something is wrong with the bootldr since i cant just set it up to boot properly from the windows boot selection at startup. Ive spent a few days trying to search out the problem online, but nothing I have found is on point. Its a quirky issue, and I can provide more details if need be.
Thanks for your time and help guys .
