I want to dual boot Windows XP and 7 using 2 harddisks, and I have windows XP installed, and I do not want to reinstall it.
I just want to buy another HD and install windows 7 on it and then choose at startup which one i want to boot.How can I do this?
thanks.
You basically answered your own question. Purchase and install the new drive. Then, install Windows 7 on it. The Win7 installer will automatically handle setting up the dual-booty. If you have any specific questions, feel free to post them here or in a new thread.
thank you very much larrynotcableguy. I really wanted to know how, and you helped me :P
Install Win 7 from within XP. ..just pop in the disc & select "advanced", then have it install on the 2nd HDD. BTW, this is the gaming forum, not the WinXP or Win 7 forum.
oooh sorry, I did not know that.
this is my first post, and I did not select the gaming forum( as far as I know)
