Dual Installing from Zero. Urgent help pls.

Hi,

I want to fully format my hard disk and make new partitions out of it, then, install windows 7 on one partition and windows XP on the other. Since i will have zero access to internet whilst doing so, can you link me to a page which can fully explain to me what i have to do?

I already have Win 7 on C, but i cant format, shrink or extend C or D.

Thanks,

Ill be online.

In that case. Install windows xp, then go from the guide :)

In step 1 were it says create the partion from inside XP, just make the partion while installing XP. Remember always oldest to newest :)

Ok, but my C is 20 Gig and i want to extend it to 60, and my D is 33 Gig and i want to shrink it to 10. Then install XP on the new 10Gigabyte D.

Problem is, from within Windows Seven, I cant shrink D.

yup,

And then divide it to: 60 GIG C (windows 7 and softwares)
10 GIG D (Windows XP)
25 GIG E (My personal Partition)
25 GIG F (Dad's personal Partition)
25 GIG G (Other eg. downloads etc.)

If this is what you mean:


@mckill,

You dont understand (or maybe I dont understand!!). I cant Shrink D to install a Windows XP on it.

Im somewhat newwy, so...
