xp partition

About this tag
The xp partition tag covers discussions about managing Windows XP partitions in dual-boot or upgrade scenarios with Windows 7. Common topics include deleting the XP partition after upgrading to Windows 7, which often causes boot failures due to the boot manager residing on the XP partition. Users also encounter issues when installing Windows 7 alongside XP, such as long delays during setup, failure to detect other partitions, and boot errors like status 0xc0000225 after resizing or moving partitions. Solutions involve using startup repair, repairing the boot configuration, or ensuring the Windows 7 partition is active. The tag reflects real-world troubleshooting for partition management and boot recovery.

    I've already saved everything I need (mainly e-mails) to my USB drive. My primary drive is partitioned with XP and Linux Ubuntu in a dual boot. When I do a "custom" Windows 7 install will it only wipe the XP partition or will it wipe the entire hard drive and set it to one partition? I'd prefer...
