    Just be sure to highlight XP partition

    Format XP partition

    Then Install to XP partition.

    Then you always have a way to get back to old Win7 via Startup Repair if anything fails.

    It will start up to Dual Boot menu. The new Win7 will be the top listing.

    You can hide the other one later.

    Mitch, boot the DVD. It won't format from Win7.

    Restart the computer and "press any key to boot from DVD."

    If necessary, look for key to press on first screen for Boot Menu and trigger DVD that way.

    Otherwise you need to Enter BIOS setup to set DVD to boot first, just before HD>

    Sometimes it takes a while. Give it a chance. My old laptop here takes 5-10 minutes then.

    If necessary, go back to Windows 7 desktop and run it from there without format.

    It would be better to format from boot, though.

    Formatting overwrites the MBR which is what you need to get rid of from XP.

    It could even be causing your sleep problems.

    Very important. Wait for booted install to see if it starts up. Stalls happen sometimes, normal.
