I've been trying to do research to find articles addressing my question, but so far no luck. I had a dual boot before on my desktop, but had to remove XP due to lack of space. I have since upgraded the system hard drive to SSD and want to know if there's a way to make it so that if I'm running Windows 7, Windows 7 will see it's partition as drive "C" and XP partition as "insert irrelevant drive letter here" and if I'm running Windows XP, Windows XP will see it's partition on the drive as "C" and the Windows 7 Partition as "insert irrelevant drive letter here".
Also one more thing I wanted to know how to Flash a Bios. My ACER Aspire 4540 laptop died and wanted to know if it was possible to flash the bios are part of a diagnostics step before making a final decision to buy a new one. I try to power on my laptop, but no response. No splash screen, just black. The LED power light is solid and doesn't flash. The hard drive recent died on it and I bought a replacement drive, but even with the new drive in place and the Windows 7 Disc inside ready for reinstallation, the screen remains inactive. Maybe you all might have a different idea as to what's wrong with it? As far as I know it's a BIOs issue that might require me to buy a replacement board in which case I'd buy a new laptop, but I was wondering if there was a way to avoid making any sort of big purchase at the present time.
