How To Recover Windows 7 Multi-boot Option with Windows XP

Hello guys i think this is the common problem to all, as if you use Windows 7 as a second operating system with Windows Vista or Windows XP boot menu option automatically creates a new operating system option in the boot menu there.  However, if you have Windows 7, and then try installing Windows XP, you will overwrite the MBR with one that does not recognize the code, the boot loader of Windows 7.
If any body of us are in the same situation and looking for the way to fix and get back Windows 7 option in boot menu then follow below simple steps.

1. Open a command prompt in the Xp/Vista operating( i mean in the older operating systems ) systems and run from the Windows 7 DVD the following command, Hear H is my drive letter replace yours:

H:\boot\ bootsect.exe /nt60 all

Just restart, now you should see the Windows 7 menu.

2. To restore the menu entry for your earlier version of Windows, open an elevated Command Prompt window and type this command:

bcdedit /create {ntldr} –H “Menu description goes here”

                                                     (or)


Download and Install EasyBCD on your Windows 7 to add boot entry for XP.

Launch the app and go to Add/Remove Entries. Under “Add an Entry” open the Windows tab and select the Type as “Windows NT/2k/XP/2k3”.

Give it a name like ‘Windows XP’ and click on ‘Add Entry’. Then select Save.


That’s it. Now restart you PC and you’ll be presented with two options, Windows 7 and Windows XP. Select the one which you want to work on.

Substitute your own description for the placeholder text, being sure to include the quotation marks. The next time you start your computer, the menus should appear as you intended.
