Hello

I have a desktop with two operating systems (XP Home and XP Pro). XP Pro is installed on a hard drive (F - about 250GB), while XP Home is on my C drive (about 200GB).

I am aiming to REMOVE XP Pro and replace it with a 3-month trial version of Win 7, after which I will probably buy the real thing. (However, I suppose I could, in theory, have 3 operating systems, though).

At the moment, when I start the desktop, I am GIVEN an option to CHOOSE which of the two operating systems I wish to use, and I would like that same option to appear when I have reformatted the F drive and installed Win 7 in its place.

What is the best way of GOING about all this, please?

Thanks.

SteveJust go ahead and do what you want to do. The W7 bootloader should recognize that XP is also installed and give you the option at boot. But if for some reason it does not you can just download and run EasyBCD to change the boot options. It couldn't be easier.OK, I'll just insert the CD and see what happens!!

Thanks.Sure thing. BTW, you should install by BOOTING to the W7 disc rather than inserting it from within the OS.
