Yo, I have this fairly recent Core2Duo machine set up for a lot of uses. It has 2 HDDs and 4 partitions. One partition hosts Windows XP, another Windows 7 and another Kali Linux and I have GRUB set up to manage all of these easily. Selecting Windows XP is done through the Windows 7 Boot Loader. This used to work fine, until I had to change my GPU. Since then, Windows XP does not want to boot, it reboots the entire system immediately after selection. Safe mode has the same results too.
I'm pretty sure this has something to do with GPU drivers (previous card was 8800GTX 512, now a Radeon 4830). How can I force WinXP to "forget" what GPU I have installed? I believe that if I force it to use its fallback VGA driver, everything will smoothly. However, if that doesn't work, how can I reinstall Windows XP without causing the rest of the bootloaders to go nuts?
