Given brighttk advice pls consider the following

Make sure u know what u r doing
before dual booting xp and
Windows together.

I dislike
offering tutorial on something
like this. its so complex and
u need to mk sure u know what u r
doing.

If u check prev msg today I advised someone
to boot to bios by using f10 or f2 and play around the bios until u see
native mode, compatibility mode, change it from ACHI to legacy or compatibility mode


In a nutshell achi orsata mode is fvista and windows 7

when installing xp u either change it to the second on the list
or disable it and when u want to boot windows 7 u need to go to bios and
reverser it.

i de quick de 4get tins dese days oo.hmmmm not all laptops have this option to change the sata mode from achi 2 ide or compatible mode.. pls play around with the options in ur bios 2 find out.. morealso there might be some hitches cos by default the file system of xp will overwrite dat of ur windows 7 boot loader... although there are fixes for this but i havent tried any of them..

the last time i did a dual boot. the win7 didnt boot up only xp.. there was no time 2 fix the bootloader since it was urgent.. so we had 2 install xp first and den reinstall win7.. abeg nor try experiment except u want to t end up crashing ur live system.. if u have enough ram in ur pc say at least 4gb just get vmware workstation and u can run xp side by side with ur window 7..

but if u have above 4gb ram...den u can actually use vmware 2 actually experiment dual booting win7 n xp all inside the vmware...at least u go learn

naija nor go kill me with laf.. u de burn cd nepa take light u come hibernate lolololololol... me i nor know abt dat one oooo...let me ask u now did u see my previous post.. dual booting winxp and win7 is some how tricky.

win7 vs winxp is tricky cos if u ve win7 installed n u intend 2 install winxp hmmm winxp will try 2 overwrite the boot loader.. at the end of the day u will find only xp booting n u nor seein an option for win7..although there is a fix 4 it but i havent played with it cos d last time it happened, d owner of the pc was in a hurry.. and i just wiped d hdd installed xp first den win7 later.

unless u want 2 play around n mess up ur pc den u can go ahead n install xp with win7 installed first den u can look for the fix 2 correct d bootloader. i 4 look out 4 a way 4 u but i nor get d hardware 2 experiment 4 now....or maybe u can do a clean wipe of the hdd install xp first and den win7..


but my best bet is jst 2 run winxp along side win7 in vmware..i.e if u ve at leat 4gb ram or even 3gb..

There are so many things that can cause such redirection, had experienced similar problem turned out to be a virus, for starters which browser are u using, try different browser and c if the problem persists.

secondly try to update ur antivirus, malware and spyware if u have any, then scan ur system, follow it up by running a disk clean up, and clear ur temporal internet files and don't 4get also to check ur Browser properties.. wink hope this helps
