Along with this there is also a troubleshoot for, Replacing the XP
Bootloader with Win7. If you’ve managed to install XP on the same PC
that you already had Windows 7 on, you’ll noticed that you can’t boot
into Windows 7 anymore. (see the end of the post)
Note: If your PC starts booting into Windows but fails, you should probably try using Safe Mode instead.
You can solve this matter by two methods:
A. Using the Automated Startup Repair (if not solved use method B)
B. Using Commands through Command Prompt
Now do the following steps to repair your BOOT:
First insert the Win7 OS installation disk in to your PC.
Now boot that disk, and open the “Repair your Computer” option (Which is generally you can see on Left Bottom corner of the screen)
Now select your Windows OS and click the “Next”.
you can see the “System Recovery Options” on screen.
A. Using the Automated Startup Repair
Select the First option “Startup Repair”, and it will automatically fix problem. , and if its not then you probabley need to go with the Command Prompt option.
B. Using Commands through Command Prompt
Here you have to select “Command Prompt” option from the “System Recovery Option”.
Now, if you just want to repair MBR (Master Boot Record),
then type this: bootrec /fixmbr
To write a new boot sector onto the system partition,
then type this: bootrec /fixboot
NOTE: it is batter to fire both of the commands, because sometimes just repaing the MBR ain’t solve the problem due to the openSUSE or Linux’s grub may changed the physical partation number.
If you just use bootrec /? you’ll be able to see all the options.
Replacing the Windows XP Bootloader with Windows 7
You can use this command to fix that and restore the Windows 7 bootloader: bootsect /nt60 all
Depending on the partition that you’ve installed, you might need to substitute the drive letter instead of “all”.
Note: if you want to restore Windows XP back to the menu,
you can open up a command prompt in Windows 7 and run this command:
bcdedit /create {ntldr} -d “Windows XP”
Note: If your PC starts booting into Windows but fails, you should probably try using Safe Mode instead.
