Dual Booting!

Its 530 in the morning
Installed Windows 7 first
Win xp 2 weeks later
Haven't seen Win 7 since installed xp
Couldn't get it dual boot
Tried multiboot software
Download program
Reboot computer
Did not recognize win 7
Delete program
Repeat several times
Looked for recover console for Win 7
Read forums on what to do
Repaired Win 7
XP disappeared
Looked for a way fix "fixmbr"
Could not find a way
Looked for recover console on Win 7
Does not exist
Downloaded easyBCD
Added Win XP to program
Made Win 7 think its Vista
Did not like at all
Put win 7 cd back in drive
Repaired and rebooted
Windows 7 appeared with vista and xp
Went in to Win 7 deleted fake vista
Reboot
Booted Wind 7
Everything worked
Restarted
Booted Win XP
Everything worked
Blogging about it
Extremely happy that it works!

I see your 5 am blogging-style has reached maturity. But it is no match for my hardly update blogging-style! *mouth keeps moving after dubbed dialogue stops*
