I've recently reinstalled 7.10 on a machine with windows xp. After installation I could not boot into XP with the system citing a boot directory error. So I used booted off of the windows setup cd and discovered that the C and D drives have been flipped, and I assume windows is attempting to boot from the current C drive which does not have the Windows files.
Any help would be appreciated!
