Format C Drive Windows 7
I have a Compaq 615 with windows 7 installed. I bought it new, but it did not come with an installation CD. I would like to install XP, which I prefer as an operating system. i do have a legal XP installation disk.
I would like to format C and do a clean install, or install XP in to a partition and dual boot.
I already have all the XP drivers downloaded.
