Ok, So I have a dual boot XP/7 setup going. They both worked wonderfully together until I managed to screw it up. This has me completely stumped
So I needed to reclaim my 2tb raid 5 array from 7 and give it all back to XP. I used acronis disk manager to move the 7 partition to another drive(about 127gigs) and XP continued to work fine. However, 7 tweaked balls because all the drive letters were wacked. So I decided to move it back(here's where the fail starts). Using acronis again, I moved the partition back exactly like it was before in XP. Rebooted. Bootmgr is missing, CTRL.....
#(%#$_*#_$*)%)*$
So I pop in the 7 install disc, repair and 7 is good to go again, but I can't boot XP up now, at all. Tried to add a boot option with Vistabootpro for XP and it just restarts the computer.
I uninstalled the "vista" bootmgr and told it to go back to xp, then it says that NTLDR is missing.....
How do I get rid of 7 and get XP working again?
EDIT:Might I add
With the XP disc in, The XP install that's normally "C" is now "F" and the 7 install which was "D" is now "C"
