i'm having a bit of trouble. i have windows 7 and i want to set it up with a dual boot for XP. i have partitioned space on the hard drive. what im looking at, start, right click computer, manage, disk managemant, theres a box that now says 125gb free space. i'm assuming that means i can install XP on that free space.
anyway, i've tried putting the XP disc in the drive, shutting the computer off, turning it back on. the problem is when i reboot, there's no options to install the disc on the space i've partitioned. i've gone into bios and changed the boot sequence so the cdrom drive boots first. i'm not getting a screen giving me the option to install XP on the partitioned/unallocated/free space disk space.
