 Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 1:08 am Post subject: windows 7 boot problem |
 |
|
well when i installed it, it appeared in my boot menu. It rebooted twice to finish installing, and now it doesnt show in my boot menu anymore. What happened? Its dual boot with xp as primary. Again it showed in the boot menu twice for its reboots to finish installing. I googled and it seems to be an issue people get often, but i cant seem to find a solution except for linux ;-;
It installed a boot menu folder and a w7ldr file. I dont understand why it wont show in the boot menu. :<

| Did you try fixing it in msconfig boot.ini settings?

I did not. Would you have a tut for this? I'm not sure how to google that.

Its not vista :<
edit: something happened and the partition corrupted. So the install is now gone. I'm giving up. I'll boot another OS through a VM. Im getting more ram so it should run ok. If not ill just give up fully. I have never had such problems dual booting past pcs. ._.

Sigh... put your windows xp cd in the cdrom
Go to recovery console, write
fixmbr
fixboot
bootcfg /rebuild
and reboot.
Thats it.
