Hi There
Firstly, thanks for these guides - they are invaluable.
My Dad is in the process of upgrading to Win 7, but still wants to retain use of XP, probably as a safety blanket more than any real need.
Anyways, my intention had been to remove his current XP installation HDD, and install a clean version of Windows 7 32 Bit on his new SSD. Once that was installed, I was then going re-attach the XP HDD, and hopefully set up a dual boot system from there.
Is that possible? I think from reading the above it should be okay, but it may be preferable to use the Bios to switch between the hard drives rather than the microsoft software option. I think my Dad would prefer the latter, though.
Am I right in thinking that Easy BCD should enable me to add XP to the boot menu on the Win7? Any potential problems with that?
Any help gratefully received!
TIA
Paul
