Installing XP OVER 7
Alright so i have a AO533. And yes - it's a netbook, preinstalled with Windows 7 Starter.
So basically what i wanna do is remove windows 7 and install XP onto it because i quite frankly love XP since day 1.
and this is what i've come up with so far.
Since it doesn't have a CD drive. I've got my Win XP pro sp3 ISO. I've extracted it and i've installed it onto a USB flash drive - Made sure it was bootable.
Then i make the USB boot first and then the installation starts. I choose the C drive as the XP installation Directory and format the C drive so it deletes everything including the windows 7 boot files and OS
then the XP installation installs all it's files onto the C (Does this include the boot files?) and then i just continue from there.
what i'm trying to find out is. If i choose the default directory for the Installation to be on the C drive and format it. Will it install XP over 7 so i end up with an XP system only?
Is this the correct process to install XP OVER WINDOWS 7?
Please reply ASAP
