The use method of computer dual system starting independently

Now the use of dual-system computer is more and more common, but as the installation of more users in the enjoyment of dual system functions at the same time the startup and maintenance of multiple systems has been a headache, such as windowsxp+windows7 users, if the boot file bootmgr or BCD boot configuration problems, Often leads to the inability of both systems to enter. The following three networks use Xrldr (a lightweight, multiple-boot management tool) to implement methods and techniques for WinXP, Windows 7 systems to start independently.

Implementing Windows 7 Standalone Startup

After completion of the above operation, reboot the system into the WinXP, the "c:bootmgr" file, "C:boot" entire directory cut to the D-packing directory. Then run the downloaded "Bcdtool.exe" and click "Start configuration → open" to open the "D:BOOTBCD" configuration file. Select edit → remove startup items, and then delete all the original Startup items. Next, select Edit → New Vista startup Project, select the new item, and then double-click the "Device" item in the right pane to change it to "Partition=d:" (the letter is changed according to the specific partition for Windows 7 installation), "description" ( Boot menu display name) is changed to "Windows7".

Enable XP system to start independently

Everyone knows that WinXP is started by "C:ntldr", for the user who installed the Windows 7 before installing the WinXP, we just change the master boot record of the hard disk to the NT52 format. After entering the WinXP, copy the downloaded "Bootsect.exe" to the C disk, then start the command prompt tool and lose "C:BOOTSECT.EXE/NT52C:" When the screen appears. Bootcodewassuccessfullyupdatedonalltargetedvolumes. " Indicates that the master boot record was successfully changed to NT52 format. Now that the system is rebooted, NTLDR is automatically loaded to start the WinXP (the Bootmgr Boot Manager interface will no longer appear). For users who install WinXP on Windows 7, do not use the above command to change the master boot record, or there will be consequences where neither system can enter. Because after the change to NT52 format, the hard drive master boot record looks for the Ntldr file in the first partition root directory (NT60 format is looking for bootmgr).

After you move and configure the file, Windows 7 can be started from D (bootmgr loading requires XRLDR configuration) as long as we can load "d:bootmgr".
