Can't install Dual booting system
« on: October 09, 2004, 10:11:07 PM »
I am having windows 98 installed on harddisk partition C. While i am having four partitions C,D,E,F. When i try to install windows XP on partition D, it hangs while "preparing to install". Moreover installation doesn't ask for the partition in which to install the system. I am having 1.7 GHz Celeron, 128 MB DDR, 40 GB HDD. Please help.

When you try to install xp are you booting from the CDROM?

No. If you boot form CDROM, it should give you the option to install on a different partition.  There is obviously something amiss.  

Why do you want a duel boot system?
