Dual Boot:Clone an Xp partition on a HDD with already installed W7 X64
Hello everyone,
I need some help with a rather peculiar enterprise: I have a machine where Win 7 x64 (Pro) was installed from scratch ( System Reserved Partition 100Mb + C: Partition (active, boot, Win files). (250Gb) All required programs installed and so on. All this on a 2Tb HDD.
I also have a smaller, much older hard disk (500Gb) which has two partitions containing 1. Xp X64 plus 2. Another primary partition with various files.
Is it possible to use the bootable version of Partition Magic to clone the two partitions from the Xp drive on the available space of the 2Tb HDD? And how to proceed in order to make the 2 OS-es bootable and usable without problems?
From what I gather the common practice is to install 7 after Xp but I no longer have this option at this point. Thanks in advance for any help.
