Windows XP Pro launch problem
I have a home built system with a 500 GB hard drive divided up into two
roughly equal partitions. I installed Windows XP Pro on the first partition when I bought the hard drive over a year ago, and recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on the second partition. I can not get Windows XP Pro to boot now, no matter which option I select (nomally, safe mode, etc.). Whenever I try, my computer restarts after a few seconds. There are no error messages. However, Windows Vista boots normally. When I look at my hard drive in Windows Explorer, it shows what Vista has appropriated the "C:" letter for itself, though I installed it on the second partition. How can I get Windows XP Pro to boot without completely wiping my hard drive and starting from scratch? |
