Hi,

I tried but it gives error, first install IDE driver, I insert ed my M/B CD, it finds one driver and still it gives the same error, cannot install windows on disk1 partion2 like that. even in primary disk also, in d drive it wont install. I was trying to install new windows from my existing window xp SP2. system.
my primary disk is 400 GB, secondry is 80 GB

I installed win7 on a secondary HDD and i haven't faced any problem. try to install by booting using DVD instead of using xp. Also, what is your system config?
