Installing Windows XP on computer running Win 7
Hello,
I need XP for specific older programs I like and are not compatible with 7.
What I am trying to do is to load XP on my back up external drive by USB link and so avoid dual boot which I really do not need. Is this feasible?
I have inserted my original XP installation disc (after booting it up from the DVD drive). XP loads all the drives/files etc, and when it gets to the screen Windows is starting and shows, Enter to continue, Esc to quite etc. my keyboard does not respond to any command and so I have to end the installation by switching it off at the mains. Have tried the same procedure several times but the result is always the same.
Any advise would be most appreciated.
