Installing dual-boot windows xp on windows 7 issues
Last week i try to instal a dual-boot system windows xp on windows 7 installed ,i couldn't shrink the disk c: from manage (it said something about defragmentation, i have 2 disk drives with no partitions
,the disk c: it has 74.5 with 40 GB free) to create a new partition with 20 GB ,i know that easeus partition will help me because i did do this once(but was dual boot windows 7 on a windows xp installed) i made one partition(with 20 gb from C: with easeus partition then i restart my computer and easeus made his proces after a moment -> restart and then i should put the windows in the dvd-rom but the system was blocked like this http://img695.yfrog.com/img695/2573/86486920.jpg del/tab was not working -> restart again but this time i push del fast to go to bios but i didn't go to bios it made his usualy components verification (everything was ok) and then was blocked there. I made my decision to go to a friend to format my hard drive(+instal athe windows on the disk) and everything was ok on his pc so... to explain i record my problem now( my english sucks). On my pc it remains the same probl. but i could reinstal my windows (windows xp) and i have this problem on my startup MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service the first half is a delay the last half is when i restart to go to bios. |

Welcome!
I don't really understand your problem, but try pressing F11 during the POST. The manually select your drive from the resulting window. Hope this helps, ~JK |

Try running the Windows 7 DVD from XP.
If you dont' want XP, then install Win7 over XP. If you want to keep XP in a dual boot, make another partition to install Win7 from the XP desktop. |

How is that blocked? What exactly are you trying to do that it won't let you?
We can work on the delays later. |
