I have a dual boot setup, with xp on 1 drive and win 7 on another drive. I had xp installed first. If I wanted to get rid of the xp, and just have win 7, do I just have to copy the boot.bak and bootsect.bak to the win 7 drive, and would win 7 boot ok, or is there something else I would have to do? I know win 7 looks at the xp drive, cause when I do an image backup, it also backsup xp.To avoid including an earlier OS in the Windows 7 image, you will need to create a separate system partition to be shared by both OS. We’ll be posting an article soon on how this can be done. Has an article been written explaining how to create a separate partition to be shared by both os's yet?
