New 7 install on added HDD,Dual Boot XP Pro

I missed Greg's question about having a clean install CD. The answer is YES, I do, it is a NEW re-install CD replacement from Dell because there was NO XP CD with this Refurbished machine so I had to order a new one.

OK, so I am going to stop for a break and go to the tutorial and then install the ISO software first and then come back and deal with the CMOS.

When you have enable USB legacy, for the keyboard.

Put Windows 7 DVD or Win XP in the drive, boot up.

Press any key to boot from CD or DVD....

Setup will start.

(1) I finished the flash drive except before I close the program, It has an option to make the ISO Image Bootable, Should I use that function before I close the program and insert it in the dead machine?

Also, the Default position for the USB in Legacy is"ON"

(2) I ran the CMOS 1 or 2 days ago and re-set to default but I just did it again TWICE, to make sure then tried the DVD with WIN 7 and then the CD-ROM with XP Pro.

The results are exactly the same as before with the same error messages:Press any key with the CD-ROM then the NTLDR is missing message and with the DVD, the first part about "Press any key is absent and only the NTLDR is missing! I again pressed F12 for both and received the very same error message as before.
Nothing Has Changed!!!
Now do you want me to add the "Make Bootable Option" to the Flash drive before I close the program?

I pressed F12 and "Press any key" in CD-ROM with XP Pro and SETUP STARTED this time when it would not do it before. Sometimes the CD-ROM has to be used even though the DVD is marked as the prefered drive. XP is installing on the NEW HDD!!!!! I hope that it found the second partition that I set as active! I hope Win. 7 does not get overwritten, what do you think?

It just gave me the option to set the partition where to install and it is indeed letting me install to the prefered partition.
I THANK GOD.
He gets thanked first and now I thank you both!

Win XP will install to the partition you tell it to.

theog, I will next want to use the ASR disc that I made previously and used for the other fresh install on the old hard Drive. What is the procedure to initiate the ASR to add the 60 GB backup image to the new install just as I did to the old HDD?

I also suspect that there is a problem with the Windows 7 install that caused the NTLDR error message. I think that I may need to use the Windows 7 repair Disc to correct any problems, what do you think?
