My games computer has win7 on it to run a few games.
I want to install another game that will only run on XP. So I created a second partition and installed XP as well.
I thought boot would give me the option to pick which os I want, but it just jumps straight into XP.
How do I make that option at boot ?

A day and a half later and I finally have a XP Win7 computer working. A very frustrating process on this one.
I ended up using easybcd to get the dual boot at start up.
Drivers were a huge problem and so was trying to get an internet connection.
At last I was able to install the game, only to find it required a key which I didn't have. Now waiting for the seller to get back to me on that.

Yeah....bcdedit/bootrec are annoying cmd tools at best ~ good to see folks out there creating GUI interface things like easybcd to access these tools and try ease the pain ( I don't use blowz so interesting to know =)

i always found it easier to have two hard drives with xp on one and 7 on the other one.f12 on boot up pick the hd you require
I might even clone the drive to a larger one (SSD) and add a win10 partition for later model games.
