Thank you! =)
Hi, Though I'm not quite sure about the success of the process….but u can try it…..
Delete the Windows 7 partition with some higher priority OS (Such as Linux….I'll suggest the Ubuntu ).
Then try to install windows XP.
If u get failure…. delete all partition my the Linux CD.
I hope the problem 'll solve.
Will this delete the boot option of Windows 7 during startup?
it is not working.
Yes, if you use a partition with another operating system on it, you can delete the Windows 7 partition and use it for something else (or extend another partition over it.)
