a little prob!

Hi,

Currently I'm using Windows 7 & I want to install Windows XP, but I don't have a CD\DVD Drive nor a PEN Drive.
So, the question is that can I install Windows XP from Hard Disk because I have a copy of the installer of Windows XP in the Hard Disk.

how do you intend to boot so that you have access to the other HDD to install windows from without some form of bootable media? :?: are you thinking of booting to 7,then running setup from there?

I made a copy of a Windows XP install (before reboot) and I use it on occasion to install XP with out the CD. However, With W7/Vista on one of the partitions it will be a harder thing to do. In fact, I have no idea how you would go about doing it lol. If you had a clean HD it would be easy to do or if you had a CD-rom you could and then change the boot loader for W7. Why don't you just get the cool little USB-IDE adapter and run a CD-rom from a desktop PC There is one on newegg.com for $9.99 and it even has SATA with SATA power too

 

Yes.

 

iirc you cannot run an XP install from Vista. I am sure that W7 is the same. You would have to run XP install from boot. Once you do that you then have to fix the W7 boot-loader.
