dual boot xp/w7

[Maurizio]

hello:
I need both w7 and xp, I used easyBCD to do that, I installed W7 on C:\,
and win xp on D:\.
Everything is fine, except that if I hibernate from xp, it didn't works,
I have a normal long start.
is there any trick to resolve that? or is there any other method than
easyBCD?

any help is appreciated
thanks

The correct way to install dualboot XP and Windows 7 is to install XP
first and Windows 7 last. Sounds like you did it the other way. If you
install XP first, that problem should disappear.

And it is possible (and probably best) if both XP and Windows 7 calls
their own partition as drive C. Yes this is completely doable.
