Hello,
I had unresolved problems in attempting to install to a separate partition, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The othe OS is my CP Pro 32 bit that I have been using since last year. I rebooted with the DVD in to start my first attempt. I did get to the install now and clicked on it. I got to the partition selection screen. I selected a partition that I have flagged as primary and was formatted over using Acronis Disk Director 10. No big deal, so I thought. I clicked next to begin to install. What I am expecting iss a dual boot of my XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro. I got some one sentence respose. I got back to the partitions screen and let Windows 7 format it, thinking it had a problem with Acronis' formatting. I got the following message: "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the set up logs for info." Which are where?
I have ONE physical disk divided up for two OS's an two other Application and DATA. The XP is flagge primary, System. I have the install partition flagged as primary. The other two are logical.
Can I dual boot the two on separate partitions, but on the same Physical drive. I would think so. I did it with my Pro and Home using the IDE drive?
I also had to look at my boot.ini file and make sure that I has at least 30 secs before it goes to the default OS.
I cannot think of anything else.
I hope I can get through this istall. NO money left to employ help.
