Good for Hrad Drives over 80 GB. Don't try on smaller drives although it may probably work even on 40GB drives. 1. Do a back up of important files on to a USB drive. 2. Download EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - Free! 3. Read the insturctions and install it. 4. Move all your files to the lower end of the drive using the software. 4. Split the single partition on your hard drive into two or even three sections. 5. Shut the computer down after exiting. Now you can instal the WinXP in one of the newly created partitions. Your Win 7 partiion is still fully functional with the Windows 7. If you have the Win 7 Prof or Ultimate, Easeus home edition does not work with it, and you will have to buy the Professional edition of Torrent it down. Happy installing. |
