821286 2009-10-17 00:27:00 I had Vista and W7 installed & as Vista was in the 'home' partition it had the loader. Unfortunately I forgot to make a copy of the loader before formatting the first partition to restore it to XP.

Short of reinstalling the W7, where can I get a copy of the 'loader' file from?

821288 2009-10-17 02:26:00 You don't need to reinstall, just boot from the Win7 CD and follow the Repair options. It'll set it straight again :) Chilling_Silence (9)
821289 2009-10-17 03:03:00 yep, just boot from your Windows 7 media, click through the language option screen then run the Repair option as Chilling says nmercer (3899)
821290 2009-10-17 06:01:00 Yes, startup repair should do it:)

You can then add in the XP entry manually with EasyBCD if startup repair doesn't do it for you, or doesn't do it right(which I've had in a few cases)

Does not matter-it still will.

When you get to the stage where it says "Install now" select "Repair My Computer on the bottom"
