HOW TO REACTIVATE DUAL BOOT XP AND W7 64

[Guest EdGalicki]

I had a dual boot system - xp on one hard disk and windows 7 64 bit on another hard drive -

 

 

My xp disk failed. I rebuilt a new xp drive from an old safekeeping xp disk.

 

 

Now the system will not see the W7 as a choice in the boot sequence. If I make the w7 drive first in the boot priority in the BIOS it does not boot but indicates bootmgr is missing. Is there a way to fix this so I can boot xp usually and w7 when I need it for a different contract and different software?

 

 

This is difficult for me to understand. I have tried everything I can think of but do not want to do anything to corrupt either system installation.

 

 

Thanks to anyone who can help and if you help I will do what I do for you if I ever have the opportunity - I do machine design and mechanical design and mechanical drafting.

 

 

Have an invention you need designed and drawn up I can definitely help with that.
