I am trying to configure my New Vista Ultimate to work as dual boot with XP Pro.
When I try to get to the XP Partition I continously get a message saying that it cannot find ntldr. I found that ntldr was installed on mt C drive (Vista) as well as my boot ini. To attempt to overcome this issue I COPIED these files with ntdetect.com to my D drive where XP is located. The boot still says that it cannot find ntldr.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
