Do you have a real dual-boot system or 2 boot sectors on 2 different drives?
Are you able to join the Boot Menu via F8 or F11?
I have two boot sectors, NTLDR and Bootmgr, bootmgr is on the windows 10 drive and ntldr is on the xp drive.
win 10 is uefi and XP is legacy
its f9 for the boot menu, selecting notebook Hdd opnes intel UNDI PXE 2.1 and is going on about a realtek pcie gbe family controller series 2.25
Ok, like I already have written, the solution would be a real dual-boot system, but this will require a fresh Win10 installation in LEGACY mode.
Ok How do I do this? wont it default to uefi again?
I do have BIOS LEGACY mode enabled.
The easiest way would be to format the drive, where your Win10 is currently installed, to do a fresh install of Win10 in LEGACY mode onto the same drive and then to unify the boot sectors by a tool like EasyBCD.
Hi,
I have decided to scrap windows 10 after I pull my data from that drive. I cannot boot to it as the bootmgr file got messed up but if I use a sata to usb cable, windows 10 on the desktop should be able to let me copy my data off it even though its EFI, The usb worked in XP just as I was about to install its driver. Touch screen works cd drive and trackpad/keyboard works
No ACPI or APM though yet though Id still choose XP anyday.
