| | Just to clarify: You already have XP installed on C:\ and then wish to install Windows 7 on a sepereate partition d:\? Once Windows 7 is installed you plan to format and remove the XP partition completely, without loosing the ability to boot into Windows 7? If you lose the ability to boot Windows 7 after formatting your XP partition, use your 7 installation dvd to perform a start up repair which will repair your boot loader. |

| | I assume C is the first partition and is Active? Go to folder options, show Hidden files, copy and paste NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM and BOOT.INI from C to D. Mark D Active. Restart. |
