Windows 7/xp boot problem, Help!? -

Hey guys I just partitioned some of my hard drive and installed windows 7 to it, well I was stupid and went in computer management and tried to mark the partition as active(bad idea) it now boots up saying quot;NTLDR IS MISSING CTRL-ALT-DEL TO RESTARTquot;. So right now I have the windows 7 disc in my computer and am using it try and reinstall and hopefully get to my desktop and change it to boot windows XP. So my question is am I what I m doing going to help? And how would I go about booting XP and not Windows 7 once I (hopefully) have it fixed?

It should be go back to normal. If it doesn t, you can download EasyBCD from the link below and go to the Add or Remove Entries section to add or remove any OS from the boot loader. It s a great, simple program to manage the boot loader.

You can try marking that partition as inactive as long as you know what disk and partition number it is. Go to command prompt and use the diskpart command. If your partition in question is partition 2 on disk 0, you would type: select disk 0 select partition 2 inactive exit exit If this does not fix your problem, then you may have to repair your XP os loader first, from the install disc, then install EasyBCD to fix the Vista (Windows 7) boot manager. There is a tutorial here http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista... that may be helpful.

type in Fix MBR with the XP disk and it will fix it.
