My XPerience has shown w7 is much better. w7 has many drivers already loaded, runs faster, uses fewer resources, runs old software, or at least a lot of them, installs much faster, can "fix itself" many times, supports TRIM for SSDs, and on and on.
Many softwares which was fine in XP will destroy a w7 OS, two that come to mind are Spybot Search and Destroy and most Registry cleaning and defragging programs.

I wish install several times on the same pc windows 7 64 bits.
Assign the letter or change the letter possibly to some.
Proceeding.
1. Connect a new hard disk to my pc with partitions. Only that hard disk. Install in the partition C: the system and boot.
Note : Usually I install my systems in C: , D:, F: , I: , M: and N:
2. Install the second windows 7 system in the D: unit.
3. Connect a second hard drive to my pc with only one partition.
Install the third system in the F: unit
4. Connect a third hard drive to my pc with two partitions created. (g:, h:)
Install the fourth system in the I: unit
5. Connect a fourth hard drive to my pc with three partitions created (j:, k:, l:)
Install the fifth system in the M: unit
6. Install a sixth system in the N: unit.
Finish
Revise.
Always is necessary under xp reassign the correct unit to some systems.
The unit C: is definititely assigned and don't need to be varied
Note : Please consider put the link to the knowledge base of microsoft where is affirmed that w7 always see the installation partition as C:

It is possible to have another letter assigned to Win7 during install by running it's installer from another OS instead of booting it. This will lock out the drive letter which you are installing from and assign to the new install the next available letter.
But there is no good reason I've come across to do this. Why do you want to try?

Again, what are you trying to achieve? There is absolutely no reason to run the same OS multiple times on the same computer.
In fact, I'll argue that multi-booting is dead. Virtualize XP if you need it. Simplify your setup. The screenshot you posted gave me a migraine! SImplify and you'll thank me later.

Sounds like Contro was manually performing the task that some program migration utilities tried to do in the past. I never used them and can't remember the names now. But I remember reading the ad copy for a couple of them. They copied all your programs to another partition with a different letter and made the changes in the registry to substitute the new locations. Word was it required a lot of manual tweaking afterward.
But I can see if there's very hardware specific testing that a VM just ain't the same as real hardware. If Contro got all this to work he must know something about what he's doing and has a reason.
Better him than me though. :)
