Windows 7 and XP dual boot
- Thread starter Cluent
- Start date
I don't know if this is important, but Windows 7 is already installed so XP would be the second operating system. The hard drive is already partitioned into 3 volumes.

Yep, I have that situation and you can access the Win7 partition from your XP.
