waradmin Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Google Ultimate Boot CD, download and burn that image, boot off the CD then use the booting programs on that CD. Or install a bootloader from the CD, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waradmin Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Well once you boot off the CD, there will be options (Harddisk tools, etc), you want to select Filesystem Tools (F3 I believe), then it will list filesystem programs, theres one called Smart Boot Manager. I would first use that one to verify both OS's work. Once that launches, select the partition your OS (whichever you are trying to boot but cant), and press <Enter> and if a prompt comes up, press <Enter> again and your system will boot off that partition into that OS.
