Can you install windows xp over windows 7? -

i installed windows 7 on a different partition which wasn t drive c, Windows 7 changed the drive i installed it to to drive c and my windows xp wont start up now. So i was thinking of installing xp on the other partition, is it possible? Or is there a way to fix this from recovery console?

First download gparted: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.... Copy the image file to a disk then boot from it. After boot follow instructions until you get to a window that shows your windows partitions, just delete the windows 7 partition and reboot. If you get a boot error put in xp boot disk or whatever one you have and open command prompt and type in exactly quot;Bootrec.exe /FixMbrquot;

If you are not sure how to image and partition your hard drive then I would advise against it. Besides the beta could give you problems, especially driver problems since you are using XP. I hade to find all new or different drivers for my proprietary software.
