How Can I boot into my XP drive.

Hi Gang,

Happy New Year

Here's my problem. I have a dual-boot system. Windows 7 is on C and Windows XPsp3 is on D. The are on separate drives. I can boot into Win7. But when I try to boot into XP I get an error telling me that the process has been stopped because it might hurt something. I can't really read it because as soon as it shows up it reboots.

This problem started to show up after I used a Norton Ghost 15 to restore the drive and the last bit or so wouldn't restore after a long while so I just rebooted it.

I tried reloading Windows XP but when I did this I couldn't find the password. then I tried using Magic Jellybean but it would only find the password on Win7, not WinXP.

It sounds like the ghost image was corrupted and that's why it won't boot. Coincidentally MJB isn't going to find the product key because that part of the image probably didn't restore. The only solution you have left is to get the CD key off of the envelope/jewel case your CD came in when you bought it.
