How To Recover Windows 7 Multi-boot Option

Hello friends i think this is the common problem to all, as if you use Windows 7 as a second operating system with Windows Vista or Windows XP boot menu option automatically creates a new operating system option in the boot menu there.  However, if you have Windows 7, and then try installing Windows XP, you will overwrite the MBR with one that does not recognize the code, the boot loader of Windows 7.

If any body of us are in the same situation and looking for the way to fix and get back Windows 7 option in boot menu then follow below simple steps.

Open a command prompt in the Xp/Vista operating( i mean in the older operating systems ) systems and run from the Windows 7 DVD the following command, Hear H is my drive letter replace yours:

H:\boot\ bootsect.exe /nt60 all

Just restart, now you should see the Windows 7 menu.

To restore the menu entry for your earlier version of Windows, open an elevated Command Prompt window and type this command:

bcdedit /create {ntldr} –H “Menu description goes here”

Cheers:

Substitute your own description for the placeholder text, being sure to include the quotation marks. The next time you start your computer, the menus should appear as you intended.

When I was login with my exact username and password then it simply redirects to the same link with out any errors..! and if i use bad password for the admin then it tells me incorrect password this is fine.

What i done:

• some of my friends gave the advice to enable the cookies  and verify the setting, i done but no use.
• Finally i got the working solution: There seems to a cookie problem with the core WordPress files. Add this to the top of wp-config.php:
  @define(’ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);
