Dual boot with WIn 7 & XP
I have win 7 installed in my PC on C: drive. I have a empty D:drive with 102 GB of space, in where I wish to install Windows XP. But during the installation process I came across with a error " setup could not find any hard disk". Upon research I find that SATA controllers in new computers doesn't support XP installation. In one of the forums they suggested to change SATA module in BIOS to modify from AHCI to ATA. When I try to do that it popped a statement " cache flash module" has to be disabled. I disabled it and modified the AHCI to ATA , which resulted in another pop up saying that " these setting changes will result in reinstallion of existing operating system" . Please advise on a procedure where i can install XP into D:drive without loosing the existing operating system. Thanks.
