cant log on win 7 after reformatting xp

[stayplation3]

i have a dual boot with windows xp and windows 7, but after reformatting XP, windows 7 no longer shows up when i start my pc. i know its still there cuz on my computer it still says windows 7 under hard disk drives.

install EasyBCD and reinstall the bootloader. the XP one has replaced your windows 7 bootloader

 

[stayplation3]

so what do i do in this prog? its installing rit now


...

that is for windows vista. i have windows 7

 

[IINexusII]

go to the bootloader section i think and click reinstall vista bootloader (same thing as windows 7)

you should also see your old menu entries when you launch the program.

-restarting-

just stick in the win7 DVD, click on repair startup.... If that doesn't work, go into command prompt and type:

bootrec /FixBoot

You said you reformatted XP in your first post.

I don't know if Erocker has ESP or not, but You did not tell us you re-installed it.
I would not get snippy, when these are the people who help you when you ask for help.:shadedshu

i know i didnt say i reinstalled xp on my earlier post, as you can see, if you can read, i said it was obvious i did, unless you can find a way to install easybcd without an os

 

[IINexusII]

repairing the bootloader would remove the windows xp which would have been there. now use the program i told you about and add a windows xp entry to the menu

 

[stayplation3]

k testing now.

yay it worked thankies

 

[IINexusII]

Uhh yeah, dude, I can read and if you don't know, you can boot to a disk like Ultimate boot CD (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/)and customize it so you can fix those troubles...without the OS
