hi all
i've just got myself a laptop that comes with vista basic

i've successfully install xp on 1 of my partition
but i can't load my Vista anymore cos the MBR has been replace with XP MBR
so i've boot my vista DVD and repair my vista MBR
and i can boot into vista now
used easyBCD to create a dual boot environment

but after i reboot
dual boot option is available
when i choose to boot windows XP
i got this "NTLDR is missing error"
no problem boot into Vista

i google about this and some solution provided is copy the NTLDR and NTDetect into the root XP drive and it will boot again
i've do so but still no luck

anyone can provide me some solution that i can try ?

thanks in advance


Added on March 15, 2007, 10:49 ami've tried reinstall xp
but kenot boot into vista after that rclxub.gif

Do you want both XP and Vista? delete both OS, install XP and then install VIsta. I found this easier than Installing Vista first than XP
