View my Post on my site here, to see how to use Partition Manager 3.0 tutorial video’s included.

 Both OS’s Must be 32 bit or it will not work.

1.       Running XP Pro. I made a 2^nd partition on that drive and formatted it to NTFS. Use EASEUS Partition Manager 3.0 Free addition for home users.

2.       I installed DAEMON TOOLS LITE on XP Pro. Link… http://forum.daemon-tools.cc/download.php?catid=5&mode=ViewCategory

3.       I Mounted the Windows 7 Beta ISO using Daemon Tools lite.

4.       I did a full install selecting the New Partition that was formatted NTFS and a Drive letter assigned (F:) any letter will work.

5.       It proceeded with the install extracting the files and expanding them to my (F:) Drive.

6.       It rebooted several times with no problems. Windows 7 Beta & Windows XP Pro are selectable from the startup menu, no extra work or programs needed like (EasyBCD, or Vista Boot Pro). If you have boot problems you may need to use one of these programs to make it bootable!!!

7.       I tested both XP and Windows 7 and the both start up just fine. Can’t believe it but it’s true.

8.       Now get all the updates and enjoy.
I have tried this with Vista also and it worked well.
