I want to add option to boot in XP into the Win8.1 boot menu.
So I have 2 drives:
- On the first one I have installed Windows 8.1 x64 UEFI;
- And on the second - Windows XP x64.
Following is what I tried to do:
I created a new boot entry from bcdedit tool with the partition where XP is installed & the path where the bootfile is (ntldr) but when I select the option I get the
0xC000007B
error (which I believe is saying that this file is invalid).I tried different settings including moving the ntldr file on another partition but nothing changes.
Then I tried loading
C:\Windows\System32\winload.efi
to test if the bootloader is actually doing something and it showed different error(0x00000025
I believe)!I then concluded that only EFI files can be loaded so I tried adding CLOVER EFI but it showed the same message as using the ntldr (
0xC000007B
).I tried disabling the secure boot from UEFI too if this could help but - nothing.
Here is a BCD configuration screen with the valid partition and ntldr path for WinXP (which doesn't work however):
