Windows 7 - Dual Boot Win7 & Winxp

| | Dual Boot Win7 & Winxp I have a Gateway computer, 64 bit, DX4822-01, with Intel pentium E5300 Dual Core, 2.6GHZ each, 6GB ram, and 1TB HDD, running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 bit. I want to add Winxp Pro for a dual boot. What all do I need to know and what to watch out for to accomplish this? Is there any trouble to repartition drive C for enough space to add this? Thank you! |

| | Follow the steps in Method Two: Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP Most modern SATA controller drivers are not in the XP CD so need to be added during install or slipstreamed into the XP CD: SATA Drivers - Load in Windows XP Setup on Dual Boot SATA Drivers - Slipstream into Windows XP CD If you have XP programs which won't work in Windows 7 try installing them in Windows 7's XP Compatibility Mode Or try virtualizing XP within Windows 7 using freeware like Virtual Box, Virtual Player or VMWare. Much easier. Last edited by gregrocker; 08-22-2011 at 03:58 PM.. |
