Smile [Fixed] Boot an exact copy of XP

Hi all,
I've finally got my computer running (New HDD) and just want to ask one question:
I have used a program called CasperXP to make an exact copy of XP (with all the drivers) onto a seperate 25GB partition. How do I make a dual boot system without having to install third party applications and be able to use Windows Boot Manager?
I have seen previous topics, but didn't understand them too well.
For your information, there are three partitions, two of them 25GB in size, and one 188GB in size layed out like so:
  • C:/ Windows XP (25GB)
  • D:/ Windows XP (25GB)
  • E:/ Extra Partition Space (188GB)
I would like both C: and D: to be bootable, i am aware that D: hasn't been recognised as bootable as it is cloned, so how can i have both running as independent OS without having to install windows on D: from scratch?

Hya Wayjin.

Give this a try:

1.Boot with XP CD
2.Press R to load the Recovery Console
3.Type bootcfg and press enter.

Hopefully you get bootmenu after that.
