Why must you run Windows 7 within XP?
Actually "Daren" I have no intention of ever running another new Microsoft OS on this computer ever again.At The moment I have WinXP plus Ubuntu 9.10 and as soon as I can sort out a few more small problems with "The Penguin" it's bye,bye Windows forever. As for transferring files over between the two,apart from actual "Windows Program Files" which are on C:/ all my stuff is on external drives and can be accessed by whatever system I want:)
Oooooooo yea and besides :) Why should I outlay $45AUD for a piece of software that I think would be of very small use to me."Leapfrog" my foot:) They must think I fell out of the woodwork :)

Microsoft currently does not have an upgrade path from XP to Windows 7.

Damn:( That really stuffs me up doesn't it.One of the things I was really looking forward to in my later years was running a virtual copy of Win7 from within XP :'( Guess I'll just have to go and play with Linux now :)]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:25:36 GMT http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_windows_7_xp_installed_first.htm#comment29054 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:34:14 GMT http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_windows_7_xp_installed_first.htm#comment29053 so the menu option where I choose xp or win 7 must be on the xp srive so how do I get hte boot ini and boot.bak or whatever on the drive with win 7

Similar system exist in Virtual servers, 1 server with basic OS (mostly unix) with multiple Virtual servers. Lower cost on Hardware but upgrades cost allot !

i recently installed win7 on a second harddisk (in dual boot with existing XP), I was excited about win7 and everything went smooth, untill I wanted to boot XP again: Nothing ... BSOD and immediate reboot.
I disabled the 2nd HDD (the one with win7) still no go. tried some other stuff, nothing helped.
I searched for the error message I got (filmed it with a digital camera because the message came up for only a fraction of a sec) on the net,
finally I ended up with an old sollution for that error, but it was for windows 2000 !! I tried it and I was astonished that it worked for my XP !
So basically what I did is remove a few keys in the Registry and it got solved. XP boots again in dual boot with Win7 (I guess because I haven't connected the 2 HDD yet or tried it, so after writing this message I 'll try to reboot. If I don't reply on my own message, everything went fine !)

here is the error message in the BSOD I filmed:
***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF741B84C,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

sollution found :
1. Remove the hard disk that contains the system partition from the computer that does not start, install the hard disk in the second computer, and then start the second computer.
2. On the second computer, click Start, click Run, type regedt32 in the Open box, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and then on the Registry menu, click Load Hive.
4. Locate, and then click the System file that contains the hive of the first computer's operating system.

Note The System file is in the Drive:\Winnt\System32\Config folder, where Drive is the drive letter of the hard disk that is from the first computer.
5. Click Open, type Temp in the Key Name box, and then click OK.
6. Double-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and then double-click Temp.
7. Double-click ControlSet00n, where n is the number of the control set.
8. Double-click Services, double-click dmio, and then click Boot Info.
9. Right-click the Primary Disk Group registry key, and then click Delete.
10. Repeat steps 7 through 9 for each instance of ControlSet00n that appears in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Temp subkey.
11. Click Temp, and then on the Registry menu, click Unload Hive, and then click Yes.
12. Quit Registry Editor.
13. Shut down the second computer, and then remove the hard disk that is from the first computer.
14. Reinstall the hard disk in the first computer, and then start the first computer.

kind regards,
