Installing dual-boot windows xp on windows 7 issues

[winer1987]

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,

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.

I have right now WINDOWS XP ON MY SYSTEM, and my problem is after i try to install a dual boot system and i fail, i don't want any more dual boot, read my first post (complet) i record my problem (the megaupload link) .

RIGHT NOW I DON'T HAVE A DUAL BOOT SYSTEM, I HAVE A PROBLEM, IF MY PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED BY DUAL BOOTING MY SYSTEM I WILL DO THIS.

Could you please explain your problem in words? It is hard to see what is going on in the video.

 

[winer1987]

A big delay
54 sec blocked in this way http://img695.yfrog.com/img695/2573/86486920.jpg

 

[Jonathan_King]

How is that blocked? What exactly are you trying to do that it won't let you?

We can work on the delays later.

 

[gregrocker]

Did you try running the DVD from XP?

Where did you get the DVD? Did you burn it yourself?

the weird thing is that the many times when i install windows 7 the hard with the total size 74.5 was disk 0 and the other one disk 1,but now is the reverse order.

@Jonathan_King it's a simple delay,when i log on to my pc will take 2 minutes to enter windows xp,i hope you get it.
@ gregrocker i don't have any problems with my dvd/cd , and i burn it my self (i usualy do this)

Try updating your BIOS.

Which disk has win XP install on?

 

[winer1987]

i have right now only windows xp on disk 1

 

[winer1987]

Try updating your BIOS.

i made some print-screens from BIOS ,but i don't now how to update MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

 

[Jonathan_King]

It's actually pretty simple. Find out what motherboard you have (use Speccy to find out), and go to the manufacturer's site. The BIOS is in the downloads section.

Sometimes OEMs like Dell use custom motherboards, in which case you need to go to their site and look there.
