Install Window XP over Window 7 in Dual Boot

• First of all, you must have Window 7 pre-installed first in your harddisk (Let say C drive)
• Then, set your CD-ROM drive as first boot priority and boot Win XP CD to install it into another partition (Let say D drive)
• After finished installing Win XP, reboot the pc.
• It will directly boot into Win XP instead of Window 7 due to XP writes its bootloader over Window 7.
• Thus, we need to restore back Window 7 bootloader.
• Insert Window 7 CD/DVD and boot it then select "Repair" to restore back Window 7 bootloaded.
• After finished repairing, it will automatically reboot into Window 7
• Now, you are required to add a boot entry for your fresh install Window XP into Window 7 system.
• One of the way to add boot entry into Window 7 so you can dual boot your Window XP is through EasyBCD application. (You can download it from here http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1)
• I am referring to EasyBCD 2.0.2 here, once finished installling this application, launch it and select "Add New Entry".
• In "Operating System", click on Windows tab then select Type as "Window NT/2k/XP/2k3 and then click on "Add Entry" button.
• It is done now.
• The next time you reboot your PC, you will be prompted to choose which Window system to boot.
• Happy Learning ^_^
