Need Information About HDD partitions
Hi Dell Team,
I purchased a Dell Inspiron 14R N 411o laptop.
In my laptop Windows 7 Home Premium is Pre Installed.
I want to change my Operating System.
I would like to install Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Is it possible to install Windows Xp over it.
If possible then how to and give me the instructions.
I strictly like to use Windows XP and i want to install it.
Also i want to divide my Hard Drive into 4 0r 5 partitions.
Its Capacity is 500GB.
At First time it is single drive.
I have a problem i.e my laptop contains single partition which is of Basic Disk.if extend it is there any problem?
If i do more than one partition it is converting to Dynamic Disk. In Dynamic Partition it is not supporting any other OS installation.
If i change the sata operation(ATA & AHCI) in BIOS, is it supports to install other Operating system.
Plz help me in this regarding.
Thanks In Advance
