Dual Boot problem after latest Windows update
I dual boot Win XP Pro SP3 with Win 7 RC1. Had no problems until yesterday
2-9-10. I downloaded the malitious software removal tool which went OK. I went back and downloaded the first 5 items in the list. I don't like to download to many at one time. Since a reboot was required I did that. I chose early version of Windows from boot up menu and was taken to safe mode screen. Chose normal startup, Win XP startup screen briefly appears and then reboots. If I choose Win7 from boot menu, Win 7 starts normally. No matter what I try to get into Win XP it goes into reboot and Safe Mode. How do I get back into XP? frajul2 |

Dual Boot problem after latest Windows update
Win7 like WinXP should have a way to repair the bootloader. With XP it is
the Recovery Console. Win7 might have something built in to do the same thing. This site may help. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/m.../ee851681.aspx "frajul2" wrote in message ...
