Title: BNCEDIT Issue
Post by: Slade on October 09, 2010, 04:55:35 PM

Followed the bcdedit instructions for booting to XP and all looks good except when XP is selected from boot menu it just reboots to the boot menu again and must select Windows 7. I'm thinking the instructions only work if Windows 7 and XP or on the same hard drive? If this is true how to you point the path to XP on a seperate hard drive? Also, how can I get it too see DOS as well?

Well I did want help with the boot.ini that wasnt finished but, I got pointed this way in the chat.  There just OS's on seperate drives.  Not sure what else that your looking for.
