Multiboot System Problem

[pete491]

Guys,
I have a multi-boot set up on one of my PC's. My original OS was getting buggy from all of the install and de-installs over fours years. It worked great. It's like getting a new PC. Takes half the time to boot.
After a while I was getting tired of selecting which system I wanted so I went in to msconfig, boot selection, and removed the old system thinking I could just add it back in if I wanted.
Now I want to boot in to the old OS again so I went back into msconfig and see there is no way to add it back. I went into BIOS and changed the disk priority and rebooted.
Still went to the new OS.

Any ideas as to how I could get my original system to boot?

Thanks!!

What OSes are you dual-booting between?

Both are Win7

A program like EasyBCD should help you. Basically, your bootloader is located on the drive containing the new install, and there is no bootloader on the drive containing the old install, so your BIOS is going back to the new install since it has a bootloader.

Yes, the boot loader is on the new OS. I'll research EasyBCD.

Thanks!
