We recommend that you back up the data after the dual system is ready. In order to resume future reinstallation. The procedure is as follows:
1. Back up the boot file (the file is in the "current BootProgramDisk ", for example, disk C ):
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
Repeat 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. The key here is to use bcdedit to back up the startup item when the dual system is normal.
