Win 7 system: I want to add an old XP boot drive as D:
I currently have a windows 7 Ultimate x64 system with a single boot partition (C: ).
I have an old XP drive that used to be a C: on an older system. I would like to add this drive as a D: multi-boot drive.
I understand that simply renaming the drive and adding it into the system won't allow it to be a 2nd boot. But is there a way to do this without reinstalling XP all over again? And if I simply reinstall XP (to D: ) then I've read that I'll have to use the Windows 7 install disk to repair the boot of the current Win 7 installation.
There is a legacy program installed on the XP drive that just will not cooperate under Windows 7 under any compatibility mode, XP compatibility install wizard, etc. I'd like to use it on rare occasions, and am willing to quickly boot to XP for it.
Thanks
