Precautions:
1, after the dual-system installation is complete, and under normal conditions, and then back up Windows XP, or XP System Restore after Windows 7 is useless. Remember not to use the "one-click Restore Wizard" Backup, we recommend the use of system backup recovery software: One-click Ghost v2009.09.09 HDD Edition.
2. Before installing Windows 7, first back up the contents of the XP system boot. ini file. Desktop My Computer Right-click Properties-Advanced-start and fail-back midpoint settings-Edit in Start system-point file Save As. Once Windows 7 is installed, also back up the boot. ini file to prepare for a rainy hour.
3, XP system installed a key Restore Genie installed version of the Friends to note that the use of Vistabootpro multi-system boot software, may be a key to restore the wizard caused a conflict, resulting in computer startup screen does not appear ******press [F11] to start recovery system****** prompt line and can not press F11 restore XP system, need to one-click Restore Wizard installed Advanced options in the Point hotkey recovery. Even if the hotkey is fixed, you may not be able to restore the system, at this time if you re-install a key to restore the wizard installed version, serious words on the card there can not enter the system, only re-install the system, of course, Windows 7 can not be used, the truth is not much to say. In short, we recommend that you double system situation, do not use a key to restore the wizard, really very rubbish, I have been affected by its harm, these words as to everyone's advice.
after installing the dual system, you may have only one boot menu, or there may already be two boot menu but the default boot system is not your main system, this time we will use the " vistaboot PRO ", whether you're installing XP first or installing Vista or Windows 7 first. This software is not familiar to everyone, many users in Vista just came out when they use him to " Restore the dual system menu and change the boot menu name and start order, start the system wait time ", is indeed a dual system of software tools, He is also suitable for Windows 7. In fact, the first reason to use Vistabootpro is that it can handle difficult BCD (Boot Configuration Data) storage without the need to manipulate bcdedit.exe files with complex command lines. The Vistabootpro also features advanced settings, which can be used to back up and export the boot load configuration, repair Vista boot configuration data, and modify related settings.
