Greetings,
I love w7 but have to go back to xp for a certain laptop that has a program that will only work with xp (tried everything, even learned vmware ....no dice)
Anyways, here is the current situation:
I shrunk my c partition (that had w7 on it) to open up some space for xp. Installed xp and now computer only boots to xp, which is fine...but I need to delete my old w7 partition and reclaim the space. I've tried this before and always end up with tons of errors.
After my xp install, C drive is now "system reserved" - the boot secotrs for w7 I believe?, D drive is now my old w7 install, and F drive is where my live xp install is located.
I can't just delete D and and it to my F partition..I'll get massive boot errors...do I have to do something in EasyBCD first then use a program such as partition magic to delete D and expand F? I've obviously been missing a step here or there. What about the "system reserved" C partition that is only 100mb?
Any and all help greatly appreciated!
