    hey guys i have a simple question


    i currnetly have two pratitions on my hard drive ..drive c: with xp installed and drive g: with windows 7

    now i want to install new copy of windows xp on dirve c:

    i recall that last time i did it

    its actually disabled the OS selection screen and boot directly to the new windows i just installed

    leaving my other OS on the other pratition without an option to boot to

    what action should i take in order to avoid this situation ?

    thank u very much

    I beleave even if installing on seperate HD's you should install the oldest OS first. then reinstall windows 7 on the other drive.
