Installing win xp over win 7....

[Tech&ME]

i dint want any dual boot.. just wanted xp alone.. but by mistake i installed 64 bit version instead of 32 bit one..

laptop model : asus A42F-vx130D

he he dude,

Get Original Windows XP CD from Microsoftstore.co.in

And then install it. PEACE!!

Even if you have currently windows 7 running (any x86 or x64) you will still be able to boot from the original Windows XP CD and format the hdd and will also be able to install the same in it.

Your laptop configuration is ok for XP dude!

(what you are trying to do is now clear to me, and that method is beyond the scope of this forum! Piracy not allow in this forum)

Did you try using an alternate XP installation CD?

Yes ! If he has Original XP CD then he can make a fresh copy of it.

(Microsoft allows end user to make a single backup copy of the CD as per EULA)

If in case his DVD/Rom drive is not working with CDs (it happens sometimes) he can make a DVD out of the XP CD and try to install from the DVD instead.

But remember to write the DVD in 2.5x or 4x speed only.
