Dual boot files?
I used to be able to boot my SATA HD, but then I cloned a SSD hard drive and now the boot menu, that I used to have does not appear. I have Windows 10 Pro + Windows XP Pro (SP3) on the drive 0.
Asus motherboard, 16GB RAM
I used EaseUS Partition Master Pro and this is the same software I used to do the exact same clone operation on my wife's desktop about 6-8 months ago. She still has the menu to dual boot.
So I went in and deleted all the partitions on the USB drive enclosure that had the SSD 1TB hard drive, and tried to use Avenquest Partition manager to clone the HD. Issue came up as it rebooted, looking a lot like Linux. Needless to say, it ended up corrupting the boot load, and I had to boot from a USB drive that had EaseUS WinPE system on it and repaired the Windows 10 boot.
Now it boots, but does not have the menu at the beginning of the startup after BIOS that gave me an option to boot into Windows 10 (default) or Windows XP Pro.
I remember some years back editing the file, to say Windows XP Pro rather than the generic one of "Boot earlier version of Windows"
Seems like there are 2 files that are needed, but don't know what they are named.
So asking what are the 2 boot files? I could find them on my wife's computer, copy them to a USB drive and put them into my desktop and I think that would fix it. :?? Possibly.
