    dualbooting win7 and XP

    Seems impossible, as both OSes overwrites the bootsector.

    I have win7 default now, and if I want to use XP, I need to put in the XP install CD and press repair.

    If I want to use win7 again, I need to put in the windows 7 CD and press repair.


    You can't use easyBCD in windows7, because NTLDR was removed in windows7, and you can't edit boot.ini in windows 7.

    How do I fix?

    nvm, It seems like the computer didn't care NTLDR was missing and booted XP anyway
