Replace win 7 prem64bit w/XP Pro64bit
New guy here. I have a friend for whatever reason wants XP on a Win7 machine.
Step1. In order to get XP to install without blue death screen i had to switch ahci to ide.
step 2. When i get to the partition section of setup my c: drive shows up as 100mb MBR and the os sits on drive H: with 680GB. Drive i shows up as system recovery.
I tried loading a sata driver off a floppy for the HD but that didn't do anything. Setup screen was still same as step 2.
I went ahead and did install xp fully on drive H. It seems to be working ok.
Am i missing a step so that there is a traditional drive C and D partitions
HP 6727c Win 7 premium
amd sata hd
hope that im clear with explanation?
Thanks for any help.
