Windows 7 installation doubt, plz clear it.
Hello friends,
I am planning to install Windows 7. I have 5 partitions in my hard drive. C and D are having WinXP. And another partitions for data. And ya, one more for Ubuntu. Now I want to install Windows 7 in C which is currently having WinXP. I want to do a clean install. So all the data will be deleted from C. But the problem is that, my boot.ini file is in that partition. So when I would clean install Win7 in C, and then reboot, the Win XP in D won't show, as the older boot.ini would be replaced by Win7's.
So my doubt is can I just move my boot.ini file to my D drive ? And do I need to move any other files along with the boot.ini ? And if moving the file is solution then, will I be able to choose between Win7 (C drive), Win XP (D drive) and the last Ubuntu option ? or is there any other solution/method ?
I don't know the solution to the problem. help my friends. I want to see all my OSe's at the time of booting and choose any one of them. And I am least concerned about the Ubuntu option. I don't mind even if it gets formatted. But I want my D drive's XP to be safe. I want that I get atleast two options to choose between C drives all new Win7 and D drives XP.
