When you select Windows 7 - control is transfered to winload.exe which loads Windows 7 proper.When you select XP boot menu entry control is transfered to ntldr (ntldr displays another boot menu based on entries in boot.ini)
I read the complete step by step how to on setting up dual booting windows 7 and xp. I prepared all my partitions beforehand, and labeled them accordingly so there would be no confusion i. I installed windows 7 on my new SATA drive. Everything went OK, except that I never got a boot menu presented - to 7, it was as if XP was not there i.
I downloaded and installed, and ran, easybcd, and tried to add the xp menu entry manually. It asks for the drive, and the drive with xp on it is now, under windows 7, drive D (it is E when I boot xp). All necessary files (ntldr, ntdetect.com, boot.ini) are all on this drive. But when I try that menu entry, all the computer does is reboot. It will still only boot windows 7, unless I go into the BIOS settings and change the boot order of the hard drives (in this list, if I make the one with the Win7 partition nr 1, I can boot windows 7 and only that; if I make the one with the XP partition nr 1, I get my regular old boot menu from boot.ini (which also gets me into my wubi install of ubuntu). i
I would like to be able to boot into XP from the windows 7 boot menu, or, alternately, would like to boot windows 7 from the xp boot menu. (that would be even better). Does anyone have any pointers for me?
Thanks in advance.

So up to w9x it can be also used to select OS as the Windows was just an executable on top of MS-DOS. So you add menu entry in config.sys with drivers needed (windows has its own drivers but IIRC it needed himem.sys before running win.exe)
The above example is from XP. The Vista,W7 and latter do not use boot.ini anymore instead they have some kind of boot app (like Lilo boot).The menu is usually created during Windows installation (as the installer detects OS in the PC) but nowadays HW has usually boot menu directly in BIOS of the MB.
I set up my Windows 95 machine to boot to DOS or Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. I believe the machine initially booted via DOS, calling my autoexec.bat, which ran a user menu. Choosing "DOS" exited to the DOS prompt. Choosing one of the Windows installations would rename one of the directories to "C:\windows", the other to something outside of the $PATH, and then the autoexec.bat file would call "win". I can't recall how that "win" call would start up 95 though; it's been 20 years.
IMHO if you are using ext3 your problem is solved, create 2 menu.list one called menu.list.linux and the other menu.list.windows, put the default entry to the desired one and take the delay down to 0 along with hidemenu command ( boot into selected distribution instantly.. )
As you can see, there are two sections in the file:[boot loader] and[operating systems]. Tocustomize your menu and startup options, edit the entries in eachsection. Before editing boot.ini, make a copy ofit and save it under a different name (such asboot.ini.old), so that you can revert to it ifyou cause problems when you edit the file.
In our example, if we want the menu to appear for 45 seconds, thedefault operating system to be Windows 2000, and the XP splash screento be turned off when we choose to load XP, theboot.ini file should look like this:
hey, I have windows xp and suse dual booted
or at least I did, the file system of suse developed a fault, and I had to run the repair scanner on the suse dvd.
out of many things it found wrong it claimed something was wrong with my boot loader, so when I let it get on with it, suddenly suse and failsafe suse was the only 2 listed, windows was gone, so I tried to manually add windows back.
I went to /mnt/windows/C/boot.ini
6. In notepad, click the File menu, then Save.
Note: If the file is marked read-only, the Save As dialog box will open. The file will then save with a .txt extension, which will not resolve the problem. Instead, cancel the Save As dialog box, then remove the read-only attribute of boot.ini at the command line: attrib -R -S -H C:\boot.ini, hit enter, then save the file in notepad again.
If you have an option in the boot menu that doesn't work, such as a missing version of Windows. Try clicking the "Check All Boot Paths" button in the boot.ini tab to fix this issue without having to manually edit boot.ini as instructed below.
First we allow access to the file that controls the boot menu using attrib, then we create a backup of the original boot.ini, next we edit the boot.ini file, and finally we reset the access on the file.
I have created a bootable USB drive that holds an image of a laptop with 5 Windows partitions (win xp 32, vista both 32 and 64 and win7 both 32 and 64). I have customized the menu to restore the whole laptop or each individual windows partion. It works perfectly (let me know if anyone wants to see the syslinux.cfg file).
When you now boot via UEFI PXE boot, a menu with Windows Install should pop up. It will load wimboot loader, loads a bunch of stuff from HTTP. Hopefully starts WinPE (It looks like the initial installation screen of windows), then load SAMBA share with installation files and start the actual installation calling setup.exe. Pfew! I promise that for Linux, this is so much easier... !
