downgrade from win7 to xp

[mShred]

Oh okay. How would you install grub on two Windows OS's? I have only ever done that from Linux. And then i switch it to burg instead.

He wants XP and 7 which seems kind of redundant... You will eventually need Grub to do the switching for you.

I've dual-booted with Windows' bootloader plenty of times without any issues. Why would he need Grub to handle it?

Longhorn (The Windows bootloader), can handle multiple installs of Microsoft Operating Systems with no problem.

It'll look something like this:

I never knew the windows boot loader allowed such a thing. Hmmm, well now I know.

Put the XP disk into the drive. Boot to the drive through the BIOS, or the boot menu if you have one. The installer will show all available partitions. Pick the one you want and it's clear sailing from there. If your C drive is the only one there, you probably haven't partitioned your drive properly.
