Nothing happens on 'its own', except for the bad things.      lol

Don't Move anything.  Copy them to the XP drive and then 'hide' the 
originals in a new folder right where they are now.  If this were two XP 
operating systems, I would then go into the boot.ini file and make sure both 
boot pointers are looking in the right places for the two OS's.  Since this 
is BCD setup now, I have no clue how to double check that part.

With that done, try booting into either OS.  I suspect one will work and the 
other won't, but I can't quite get my head around which will be which.  The 
answer will dictate the next move (perhaps running the EasyBCD utility will 
allow he easiest 'fix' at that point).


On the other hand, it may just be best to leave well enough alone if it's 
allowing you to currently boot into both.    :/

Peace,
Gman
