Window 7 and XP Dual Boot

Changing the Timeout value to 'zero' doesn't make sense when you've got a dual-boot setup as it means you will not get the chance to choose which OS to start. Load Windows XP Click Start > Run Type msconfig Click the Boot tab. Change settings back to what they were. Click 'OK' Restart.

But how to access window 7 boot from window xp because through msconfig we only access window xp boot options not window 7

Toggle F8 during boot & see if you get an option to choose what operating system. If you get the Safe mode etc screen you have missed the screen, reboot & try again.

Not get to window 7 on pressing F8
