Looking to transition into Win7?

[BlackScarletLove]

Hey, I have XP installed on my computer, and new games are coming out that aren't XP compatible -- I'd like to install 2 OS on 1 drive, is this possible? My C drive is 233G and my XP system is only taking up 23G of it, can I partition the drive, install 7 on the other partition and modify the boot.ini to boot into either XP or 7 on the same drive?

You should be able to install windows 7 on that. And do a dual boot.

Hello, can you tell me the best way to do this? Should I boot with the Windows disk and partition that way or install it through XP without partitioning, or how do I do it?

I dual boot XP and 7.

Best way is if XP is already installed.
