Install xp under win7

  
        

Before you start, there are 3 ways to do it:

1. The most convenient way to install CDs (novice recommended):

The xp-sp3 versions released in 2010 can be installed (old version) Also, but there is a new old one, don't go down), don't modify biOS, but you need to install the CD, no matter the oem version, what version of the optimized version can be, after the installation, go to the official website to download the ahci patch file and install it. After the installation, you have to fix the startup item, this is a must, the following preparations will be mentioned in point 5. Xiaobai recommends using this method.

2. Using winpe3.0 hard disk installation does not modify biOS (winpe3.0 larger)

If you want to install the hard disk, but do not want to change biOS, you must download a winpe3.0, which is Win7 pe, integrated ahci driver, so you can see after starting pe System disk, after the following method to install the system, after the installation is also necessary to fix the startup items, this is a must, the following preparations will be mentioned in point 5. (Do not want to install the CD, do not modify biOS try it , but winpe3.0 does not seem to have a hard disk version, there is a u disk version, please refer to the specific method)

3.winpe2.0 hard disk installation modify biOS (this method is used, push Recommended)

If you use the general winpe then you must adjust biOS, this is the method to be mentioned in this article, please see below, the advantage of this method is the hard disk version of winpe2.0 (that is now the most common It is better to find, dozens of megabytes of file versions, winpe3.0 version is very small, large size, the smallest is about 170m. This article is the third method to illustrate

<--- - Pay attention to the above methods, provided that you prepare for the partitions mentioned below, and then install them--->

Preparation
1. First divided into good areas, I divided a 20g disk, renamed winxp, in order to identify later (as to how to partition can use the own management tools to partition, do not download any tools.) 2. Download the latest xp installation version, here recommend the new radish home Windows XP SP3 notebook special version 3.2 (2010.03.03) (in fact, nothing special, but there are a few words in the notebook is really friendly, you can download other versions, but the most Good is 2010 out sp3)

(about Ghost version xp

theoretically use Ghost version xp installed no problem, you can try first, is to first change the biOS hard disk mode For ide, it should not be blue screen. If it can be installed successfully, then follow the steps below.) 3. Then download the general PE toolbox 1.92 download address as follows (latest version 1.94, this is 1.92)
The CD-ROM installation system is started by him. After installation, click to install to the hard disk. I chose the c drive. When I restart, I will see the pe option. 4. Download Windows7 Optimization Master (formerly vista optimization master) http://www.vista123.com/Vistamaster/Direct download point I
Main menu select "System Settings" - "Startup Settings" - "Multi System Selection" Then Optional, the type is "other" Name can be named Windows sp3
Here is mainly to adjust the text of the boot menu, in fact, has nothing to do with the multi-boot menu repair. . . . (Later later discovered) 5. Download a boot menu repair tool NT6 boot menu automatic repair tool. Rar this is the connection of the interesting disk, the English name is BCDautofix
this software after loading xp, to run, dual system menu Can be repaired, if you don't fix it, you can't enter Win7
6. Download the driver needed for xp on the official website (use the official website ahci driver or this http://xlnb.drvsky.com/hp/SATA_Intel_8.9.2.1002. Rar)

In addition to the xp installation disk, the other put in the u disk or you can easily find the place to talk about the following

specific installation process: 1, xp installation disk After the next good, you can directly extract, but do not extract to the disk with the drive letter winxp, the target disk should be left blank, I am extracting the d drive. This can be restarted. 2. After restarting, press f2 to enter the biOS settings. Adjust the hard disk mode from ahci to ide. This is because the winpe can be recognized to recognize the hard disk. Otherwise, winpe can't see any disk. Save and restart 3. At this point, select winpe in the boot menu. After you go in, open the disk where you just unzipped the Windows installation disk and click on the atuorun. Exe, point to the notebook version, if you ask to install the drive letter, then you have to see clearly, you must select the winxp disk that was divided into 20g before the partition, and then start copying the file, and will restart once. Note that here is just copying the files, the next step is to install
here, do not choose the wrong one, remember. . . I am not responsible for the mistake. . .
4. After restarting, I see the selection menu again. The menu is a bit garbled. If you see xp, you can click that option. After you select it, you will continue to install it. After that, it is basically a fully automatic installation. There is nothing to say. The details are also forgotten. . .

5. Install the official website xp driver, especially the ahci driver (can also be supplemented with the driver wizard) On April 2nd, the official website of the ahci driver is manually installed, or use

Skip, just some supplements *** "The following is outdated content, can be skipped" ***:

The above is the installation of xp, after installation, the touchpad sound card can run. . . . Let's talk about the driver installation. After the system is installed, you can't access the Internet. At this time, you need to use the own drive CD. There is a "lan" folder on it to install the driver of the general network card. Otherwise how to get online. . Once installed, you can start the driver wizard to install the missing driver, the discrete graphics driver to download separately, I have not finished yet, this problem is not big, but I do not know if xp can support graphics card switching? The driver wizard basically completes the missing ones. If the device manager still has an exclamation point, then start with the own drive disk! Some of the above steps may be repeated. As for the features of y460, no solution has been found yet, but xp has not affected the use.

perfect solution Lenovo T400 in Vista dual graphics card switching attention only The biOS settings section will do, Xiaohe can support auto-selection as a discrete graphics card under xp, and switch freely under Win7.
