I have 3 partition in my HDD
C:\ ==> Windows XP SP2
D:\ ==> Backup Partition
E:\ ==> For Experiment (Currently having my primary OS Win XP SP3)

Now i want to install windows 7 on C:\ without disturbing XPSP3 on e:\

So that finaaly I will able to Boot in Windows 7 (on C:\) and SP3 on (E:\)

Is it possible ????

if u r not using ur c:\ for OS requirements then u can easily install windows 7 on it

remember only to format (if u want to ) only drive c: while installation .

after installation windows 7 bootloader should auto detect ur winxp sp3 on e: ,and

would give an option to boot that too.

Since i have not played with win 7 wait for an expereinced user to respond...
