Dual Booting problem

[corruptfate]

Hello,
I installed 2 OS'es on two separate partitions on my dell machine. It originally had windows 7 and i decided to install windows xp. Now my system won't let me dual boot... It will only boot to windows XP and theres no option to boot into Windows 7. Can someone please help me out?

Oops.....you really didn't install all of XP onto the 2nd partition....you installed most of XP onto the 2nd partition.....in doing so it wrote over your boot files.

You always want to install the oldest OS 1st when doing this. Read this for a fix
