\ntldr error

Hi there,

After trawling some forums and attempting to setup this dual boot i appear to be coming across the same error as many others. Unfortunately having followed all of your instructions i have still getting the \ntldr error when trying to boot XP.

Currently my bcdedit looks as follows. Whilst there are some small variations which may be preventing XP from loading i have completed all the steps you have describe and they have all come back succesful including the command lines in step 4.

Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
displayorder {current}
{ntldr}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 30

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Microsoft Windows Vista
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {007313d3-4207-11dc-b58a-806e6f6e6963}

Windows Legacy OS Loader
------------------------
identifier {ntldr}
device partition=C:
path \ntldr
description Microsoft Windows XP

Currently i have the following setup:

Vista on C:\ (75gb HD)
XP on E:\ (seperate 75gb HD)
and then two 350gb HD's with other bits on them.

I can load into vista fine and when i change the bios i can boot straight into XP because they are on seperate Hard Drives but the dual boot just isnt working. I get the error as mentioned by many when trying to boot into XP.

File: \ntldr
Status: 0xc000000e

I have tried EasyBCD 1.6 but i get the same error. I have also tried copying ntldr and ntcommand.com (or something like that) to the root on C:\ drive which gets me past the error message when trying to boot xp but the system then just hangs permanently.

Any help on this would be really great.
