What needs to be done before Windows XP is reinstalled by VISTA and XP
We recommend that you back up the data after the dual system is ready. To restore the ECS instance in the future, perform the following operations:
1. Back up the boot file (the file is on the disk where the current Boot Program is located ):
At the same time, it is best to back up several files under the xp boot disk, BOOT. ini autoexec. bat bootfont. bin io. sys msdos. sys ntdetect. com ntldr (if it is a special case to find that the original space of dozens of K is so worthwhile ...)
Windows vista Boot file, Boot (folder), autoexec. bat, bootmgr. sys, config. sys, BOOTSECT. BAK; Windows XP boot file. ini, bootfont. bin, IO. SYS, MSDOS. SYS, NTDETECT. COM, ntldr. sys;
2. Back up BCD files
Open "run" (Start> RUN) and Enter cmd
Enter bcdedit/export "X: \ XXX \ bcd"
The recovery procedure is as follows (assuming XP is on the disk, Vista is on the d disk, and XP is reinstalled ):
Recover boot file: copy the Vista boot file (folder) to drive C.
Restart Vista: bootsect/nt60 SYS
Restore BCD files
Open "run" (Start> RUN) and Enter cmd
Enter bcdedit/import "X: \ XXX \ bcd"
If you reinstall XP, restore the Vista Startup File, use bootsect to restore the Vista startup manager, and then bcdedit to restore the startup item;
If you reinstall Vista and restore the Xp Startup File, you only need to use bcdedit to restore the startup Item.
If you do not back up the boot file and find that the BOOTSECT command cannot be repaired, you need to use the VISTA installation CD to boot, then you can fix the computer when selecting the language for the disc. Remember, the disc must not be cracked. Most of the discs after the cracking have no language options.
The software EASYBCD can also be used to back up BCD. It is graphical and easy to use. If there is no backup Startup File, you can also use this software to fix XP startup settings after VISTA is repaired, I will provide you with a Chinese version of EASYBCD 1.52.
