Guides I have found refer to Partioned drives. I want to install XP on drive D:
Does the XP Home installer allow me to bypass any partioning and point to my second drive as the location for XP?
I have Vista Home premium pre-installed on C: No Vista install DVD.
I don't think my XP Home DVD includes SP2. I seem to remember upgrading after installation. Any problems with this?
Apologise if this has beeen covered before, but I couldn't find it.
Incidently I tried using EasyBCD to point to my old drive and connected my old drive (with XP) using a USB caddy. Would not boot. Played around with BIOS [Removable] order, etc. Read somewhere that XP will not boot from external drive.
Given up on this.
