| 1270315 | 2012-04-16 00:29:00 | Hi, I got new PC with Win 7 on that. I want to install another operating system i.e. Win XP on that. So that at the time of boot, it should ask me to choose one of them to boot from. I searched the net and found that we require to repair the Win 7 boot manager after installing XP. Other wise it will always boot from Win 7. As I haven't tried this kind of things before, Please guide me with easy steps to manage these. Thanks. |

| 1270317 | 2012-04-16 01:24:00 | I've installed xp after 7 before. It will wipe the 7 boot loader so you have to download a program called easy BCD and then add in the entry for windows 7. Then you can play around with default and timing. Edit: didn't see speedy's link. |
