I just reinstalled Windows XP onto a different partition and have Windows 7 on my main partition. Problem is, it starts right up into Windows XP now. I checked the disc that has Windows 7 and all the files are still there. What's wrong?

I've had this problem before and luckily there's an easy fix. Just boot the Win7 install disc and go click on repair your computer, from there click on startup repair, which will make Win7's boot loader start first.

If that doesn't work, instead of clicking startup repair, choose Command prompt and type the following:

Code:
DISKPART


Code:
list disk


Choose the one with Win7 (usually disk 0)

Code:
select disk 0


Code:
list part


now choose the partition that win7 is installed on

Code:
select part 1
(or your #)

Code:
active


Code:
exit


Code:
exit



Also, you should always install XP first, then Win7 because since you installed XP last, it will start the XP boot loader first. So logically, if you install win7 before XP, it will start the win7 boot loader first.
