Hello,

Currently i have two operating system on my PC. Seven is installed on partition C: and XP on partition D:. I would like to reinstall XP, but from what i know, if i do it using normal/standard installation, i will loose the pointer at seven. How can i reinstall XP and keep untouched Seven?

thank you,
Peter

As long as you re-install XP into the same location as it exists already, the "pointer" will remain valid.
 
ok, but when installing xp, it wants to create some temporary files on drive C:, will it overwrite the Seven files?
also, is it still gone be ok if i would like to reinstall different language version of xp?

thank you,

If you are going to reinstall a different language version of XP to the same Xp partition . That will be fine.

You will need to run startup repair from the 7 dvd afterwards.
