Fix Dual Boot Entries Easily with Dual Boot Repair Utility

A dual boot computer has two operating systems installed on it. Typically, people install two versions of Windows on the same computer. As the computer boots up, it gives you options to choose one of the operating systems. If you install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista, 7 or 8 then everything goes okay. But if you install Windows XP after installing any of the later versions of Windows, then you can boot only in Windows XP. You can fix this by using a free tool called Dual Boot Repair Utility.

The Dual Boot Repair utility comes with Visual BCD software. So you have to download and install Visual BCD on your system. You can download Visual BCD from Boyans website. After the installation, you can run the Dual Boot Repair Utility from the Start Menu. It has a very simple to follow interface.
