Windows 7/XP conflict
I recently rebuilt my computer and decided to install a new hard drive with Windows 7. My old hard drive was fine and had XP but I had video driver issues when playing high end graphics games. However, when I tried to start Win 7 with the XP HDD as the slave it wouldn't load. I could start the XP HDD by itself or the Win 7 HDD by itself, but not both together without an .dll error. I moved everything off of the XP HDD and tried formatting it which went fine, but I still have the same problem. There is a partition drive with drivers on it that I can't get rid of. I've tried starting Win 7 with the XP HDD as part of a RAID, but again Win 7 stops responding and won't load as long as the XP HDD is plugged in and operating. How do I get Win 7 to load with the XP HDD so that I can properly and fully format it and use it for other things?
