I have recently set up my computer to be able to dual-boot either XP or
Vista. This machine, a Gateway DX420X dual core, came with XP Professional
installed and a
coupon for upgrading to Vista Business when it became available. I didn't
load my Vista upgrade until recently when I decided to set up a dual-boot
configuration. The setup went well and after re-partitioning my hard drive,
I loaded Vista. When booting up, I get the screen asking which system I want
to use...XP or Vista. If I select Vista, everything works as it should.
However, if I select XP, a screen comes up telling me that "Windows failed to
start. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc and
restart your computer. 2. Choose your language settings and click 'Next'.
3. Click 'Repair your computer'. This is followed by; File: \rrtldr,
Status: 0xc000000f, Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the
application is missing or corrupt.
I have tried numerous times to restart the computer using the "Windows XP
Professional Operating System Disc" that was supplied with my machine in
order to follow the above instructions to fix the problem. No joy! The
system does not recognize the OS disc in the drive and instead boots normally
again asking me which system I want to use.
How do I reload XP so that it is error free and still retain the dual-boot
capability or am I committed to running only Vista?
