formatting and installing OS
NEED HELP!!!
I have windows7(64-bit) installed in my system. I want to install winXP also for some purpose.
as im having a latest version already installed, my system is not accepting to install XP when i boot from the CD.
I thought of booting from win7 CD and format harddisk. But its not booting from that win7 cd also.
what should i do now to format my whole system and install both XP, and win7 again?

Re: formatting and installing OS
@OP: Are you sure, CD drive is set as first boot device in BIOS?

Installing XP after Win7 is not recommended...Install XP first & then Win7.
but u can install XP after win 7..
but u need to modify the bootloader for it.to make the system dual boot
did u selected the boot option from BIOS as CD?

Re: formatting and installing OS
I think OP should slipstream Xp SP3 in the installation CD - saw someone facing this kind of issue when he tried plain Xp install CD without any SP slipstreamed

Similar here. I can't even proceed with Windows XP installation. This laptop has CORE i5, HM55 chipset...dunno why....though I don't need that outdated XP, but I was just trying to see if it was possible...

Re: formatting and installing OS

Re: formatting and installing OS
use nlite to slipstream the SP3 along with the ACHI/RAID drivers for the intel chipset i think slipstreming sp3 alone will not solve the problem here u can find nlite here
nLite - Deployment Tool for the bootable Unattended Windows installation
