I have vista and xp dualbooted on separate hard drives. On the drive with vista, it is partitioned in half, with one half being vista, and the other containing important data that I cannot lose. I can access the data on the non Vista partition.
Recently, my CPU died, and I had to upgrade my motherboard, CPU, and memory. Now, only xp will load. After POST, when the OS boot menu loads, Vista give me an error and says it is with the winload.exe file. I tried to delete the partition containing vista, i tried to format the partition, and also tried to reinstall vista. Now, it does the same thing, and there is a duplicate vista entry in the boot menu. Any solutions would be much appreciated, as I cannot find one after googling extensively.
