Installing Windows 7 and Windows XP on One Computer: Dual Boot Guide for Separate Partitions

Hi !
Now I have Windows 7, but I want to install Windows XP on one computer.
I already have a separate "X" partition on Win XP 30 GB.
But I do not know how to install I want to install Win XP from USB but I'm afraid that Windows XP will install where Windows 7 is, i.e. on Disk C.
So what do you do to get it to Disk "X"?

During installation, you select a partition on which to install the system.

Windows 7 do you have x86 or x64?
What is this Windows XP for? Maybe VirtualBox would be enough?

As @ goldi74 wrote. Additionally, you will need to set up bootMenu.

I have Windows 7 x86.
And Windows XP wants to install because 7 August is terribly muddy because of 256 mb ram. ._.
The trick is that Windows 7 runs on 256MB of RAM.

The Seven runs on 256 mb of ram, but mussels. I don't know why you installed this Windows.

I had VirtualBox but ...
It feels strange to work with it.

You already know how to install. Now just a question. Will you still want to use the seven?

I used to have 4352 GB of ram, but the bone of the 4 GB ram burned out.

Yes, I will want to use Windows 7.

With 256MB of RAM it doesn't even make sense to turn on the computer ... Seriously speaking.

mickpr makes sense, but to run 98 and not 7

You can choose 100% on which partition has this WindowsXP installed?

Yeah

Only then you need to set up BootMenu, and I don't know how to do it in the case of 7. In Vista, when you installed iX, you had to install VistaBOOTPro and choose to install BootMenu visty there

Okay, I'm starting the installations.
When I finish, I will write something; 3.

DOS too ... the question is, who uses such systems now?

Probably less than 1% of humanity . But XP with 256 MB can be launched and connected to the Internet, so it makes sense.

First you need to install XP and then Win7 on another partition and then there will be 2 systems, if you do the opposite, there are problems and only 1 system works

@rafał on already has 7 and probably wants to install iX. And not. One system works, but at the beginning. This can be easily set up. I even remember how.

It was like bootcfg / rebuild or something like that in cmd

Even for sure. You type bootcfg / rebuid and you search for all elevator installations on the disks, then just name it, and you're done.

When I install xp (on a different partition), xp will start after the installation, but not 7 - to start 7, you need to download the easy bcd program (requires net.framework2), and first in the manage bootloader tab select visty \ 7 bootloader, after restart 7 it will start, but there will be no choice - to select the systems you need to select the above mentioned 7 in the start menu - accessories right-click on the command prompt, run in administrator mode, and enter the commands

bcdedit / create {ntldr} / d "Windows XP Professional"
bcdedit / set {ntldr} device partition = C:
bcdedit / set {ntldr} path \ ntldr
bcdedit / displayorder {ntldr} / addlast

after each enter command

or install on 7 easy bcd, and in the add entries tab, select xp to add

Exactly, my colleague Rafał speaks well. If I install Xp without easy bcd, there will be a lot of errors and in total disks to the format.
I know what it is like, I have two systems, xp and 7, but I gave 7 as the second system, because I had xp before.

I have not read any more stupid things here, firstly, you can install XP without problems after installing Win 7, secondly, who will forbid anyone, I have a few programs that do not work under 7 and it was also more convenient for me to install a second system next to it (hardware reasons). Thirdly, there is no difference whether 7 is 64bit or 32bit, where does this question come from? . Fourth, no additional software is required to add a second system of your choice to boot. Here is a description of http://szulcu.net/2011/06/instalacja-windows-xp-po-zainstalaniem-windows-vistawindows-7/ How to advise you, better go play in the sandbox, what do you think someone has RAM- u has as many as it has.

It's much easier to use the easy bcd program (I also did this method when he said "blur" but something was wrong, but now I don't remember what but it ended up with formatting)
and it's best to install it one after the other Win XP and WIN7 and then you don't need to do anything else.

It's probably easier to reinstall 2 systems and set everything up again than to tap in 4 lines of text, hands drop.

The easiest way to do this is to use xp's BootLoader and enter only one line.

Count there are more than 4 lines of text

A colleague is right - why install the program? Ms has a program that asks us which system we want to turn on at startup. I installed and I know. Regarding that one question, XP is the most compatible with a variety of programs. For example, the microcontroller simulator "went" to me only on XP.
