Title: Win XP wont Run after Install of Win Vista RTM Ult
Post by: Maksim on January 15, 2007, 08:46:50 PM

I have one question. I recently installed Windows Vista RTM Ultimate Edition. I created another primary partition on my main hard drive (master) and i installed Windows Vista on it. (DUAL BOOT) But after a successefull install of Windows Vista, I try to go to my Windows XP Pro and It cant boot. After a restart the Vista Boot Manager shows up and it displays Windows Vista and Eirlier Versions of Windows. Well WIndows XP is Eirlier i chose that option and it doesnt boot it says. NTLDR is Missing. How do i restore it But WIndows Vista boots Good.

Don't know if it'll be of any use, but it appears to be relevant to your problem.
