Vista - Cannot boot Xp partition in Dual boot after restoring with Ghost 1

09-24-2007

Im currently running a dual-boot system of Vista (C Drive_ and Xp (D Drive).
I recently successfully restored Vista using Norton Ghost 12. Afterwards i
tried to boot up xp through Boot manager but nothing would load up, it just
leaves me with a blank screen and nothing else.

All of the files are still on the D drive but XP just wont load up!

Any help would be apprecitated... Cheers

I notice that you installed XP *after* Vista, if the drive name sequence
(i.e. "C:" for Vista, "D:" for XP) is an indication. You must have run
into some problems there, too. Did you make your clone/image of Vista
before you installed XP?
