I've done it dozens of times, but have never figured out how to make
Windows 7 be a C: drive. XP is on C: now, so when I install 7, it goes
onto another partition and becomes E:, since I have the hard drive
partitioned into 4 partitions. I want to boot up to XP or 7 and have
them be C: drive, so I can use my batch files that are all written for
C: drive. I'm wondering if I can force install XP onto the "second"
partition, then install 7. I believe I'd still have the same problem,
though.
This is just wishful thinking, but I have Ghost files that I use,
instead of installing XP, because I lost my Dell install disk. I'd like
to install a "dummy" XP and then Windows 7, and then be able to re-image
one of the partitions, so I don't have to go through the hassle of a
full installation and subsequent program installations. Using Ghost
files as backups are so freaking easy, compared to re-installing or even
using some kind of backup program or restore.
Any help will be most appreciated.
