So guys, heres my problem, i have 2 separate disks, one has XP , and i instaled Windows 7 in the second, i was expecting the DUAL boot screen, so i could select XP for work, and windows 7 for gaming. but it boots directly to XP and 7 is nowhere to be found. what can i do??

@WolfSentry

Try the F8 Key on boot- this may give yo and option to boot form the drive you want.

BIOS change may do it, "Boot sequence" more pemament though, would need to change back.

There are Boot Menu freeware programs on the web which may be better.

As XxDARKKROWNxX says :)

i press windows xp professional and all i get when its finished is the background, and nothing else, no start bar at all, absolutely nothing there

@XxDARKKROWNxX Try Pressing F8, (could be a different F key so you may have to try them in turn), key while the computer boots-up, select safe-mode... This may take some time to load completely, may be 15 minutes. If this loads, just try a re-boot as normal

this is a good way but it takes a bit of time...may I suggest...click start...click run...enter msconfig...click boot.ini...and change the timeout...and done.

@XxDARKKROWNxX Try the Computer Resore Disk OR it may be a BIOS issue OR Hard Drive connection, OR bad harddrive

@XxDARKKROWNxX You need the Windows XP install disk

@XxDARKKROWNxX It Safe Mode does not work then you may need to reinstall Windows, or try a repair windows option
