Author: Administrator | Files under Operating Systems

I installed Windows 7 on my C partition, and Windows xp Pro on F partition. But now my computer would only boot up windows xp Pro everytime I turned on my computer. Plus, when I go to system properties-advanced-startup and recovery-setting, under Default operating system, it would only show windows Xp Pro, but not windows 7? Why? I installed two operating systems. How do you How do you switch between operating systems?

the xp bootloader is not compatible with windows 7,

best bet is install xp first, then install windows 7 as the win7 bootloader is backwards compatible
