Net, Lemme clarify. You were having the exact same issues, so you made an iso file from the disc, and reburned it at 8X and it worked fine?

Anyone know of a way to reformat a system volume?

Ah ok... Changing that in MSconfig puts both system and boot to C But when I boot to D, obviously, the system stays on C, but boot volume is D. This sucks. I need to reformat C. Ive been trying to think of a way to move the System files to D. Still no boot to CD.

Ok, I changed that in msconfig, and now my boot and system volume is reading as being on the C drive. Now I just need to see if 7 will install on it. I'm hoping that booting to the DVD to do a clean install will work.

Here's the thing I don't get... Both drives are showing up with MBR's. If I simply remove the drive with D, wouldn't that force c: to become the boot volume as well as the system volume? So that I can then reinstall my OS? Drew I thought about that, but was afraid to try it with out being sure...

I was wanting to buy a new SATA drive to replace that ATA, but I'm half afraid to now that I see it's the system volume.

Drive D: is a partition of a SATA, C: is an ATA

Ok, your C: is your System and Boot drive...I'm not sure how this happened, but my System volume is my Win 7 drive (C: ) and my boot drive is my XP Pro drive (D: ). So I can't just move my "System" volume to D: to reformat C: lol

Well, as you can see from the screen shot, and Im not sure how this worked out, the C: is my system drive. I can't just format it from XP (D:)

What I currently have is: C: Win7RC x86 D: XP-Pro x86 What I'd like to get to is: C: Win7 x64 D: XP-Pro x86 But I can't seem to get that damn Windows 7 to install. My boot screen comes up : Windows 7 Previous version of Windows

Here be that screenshot.

ok, I tried to install my 64 bit Vista and had the same issues. Here's the screen shot from XP. I'll upload another from Win7 RC in a minute.

My first boot device has 32bit Win7 RC. So I cant run the 64 bit upgrade from that platform. The second boot device has 32 bit XP pro which I also cannot run the 64bit u[grade from. And since I only have the Win7 upgrade, Im assuming I need a pre-installed OS? But since I cannot boot from the...

ok, The problem being, Neither OS on the c: drive is 64 bit. What I have is an upgrade. So I'll have to reinstall my 64 bit Vista (yes I have 4 os's floating around here) and try again when that's done.

Well... they haven't. Still having the same issues. Matter of fact, last time it screwed up my booting on both partitions. I had this loooong wait, then it went to the choice of boot Xp Pro or Windows 7. Anyway to make a long story short, I had to take both XP and 7 to a previous restore point.
