Lost Dual Boot

Thunderbolt · 28 Jan 2009 at 14:27

Installed Windows 7 64 on my my Acer Aspire as it had a spare partition doing nothing, so had a dual boot with Windows Vista 32.
Had some folder admin issues so decided to install Vista again, thought I'd go for 64 bit this time. However since reinstalling Vista I've lost the option on startup to boot to Windows 7, any ideas how to get it back?

download EasyBCD and add the xp files through that. (Do a search on google).

I assume it works for Windows 7 and Vista combo then, will give it a go, and let you know.

May be that I don't know what I'm doing, but it doesn't work.

Ok fixed, found an infinitely easier way, stuck the Windows 7 disc in, booted from that, then asked it to repair my installation. No harm done as far as I know and both operating systems work fine.

I'm glad you sorted it.
