Do you have the Win 7 System Reserve Partition? I have been testing and have not found a way to install XP after Win 7 on the same drive if that partition is present.

Installing without the partition present is no problem. You cannot just delete it, but must redo your boot system.

Yes I have the save partition (100 mo) but if y delete this , windows 7 don't use ?

You might want to wait to see what other folks say about my assertion concerning your particular XP install. I could still be wrong.

If you delete the System Reserve Partition, you will have to re-do your boot by making and Win 7 partition active and then running a startup repair from the Win 7 install DVD 2 or 3 times. That would fix your boot.

You always have the option of using another hard drive, if this is a desktop.

Are you sure you would not rather run the XP virtual machine?

You can check here and see if your system will run it. I believe there are other options if it will not.

Have you tried installing the software in Win 7 using compatibility mode?
