Ahci driver used - rcxpahci modified by fernando


Hi

I have windows 7 installed on c drive.
I would like to dual boot with winxp.
I slipstreamed with AHCI driver.
When the windows xp installation menu loads to partition choosing page.
It shows my whole HDD as one partition.
The partition is like - Partition1 Unknown.

WinXP is not able to read the hard drive partition.
How can I fix this ?

Thanks and Regards

@sevexps :
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

You can fix this issue by installing Windows XP and Windows 7 in LEGACY mode (using the Master Boot Record as partition table).
You obviously have installed Win7 in UEFI mode using the GuiMode Partition Table, but it cannot be read by the 32bit variant of Windows XP.
For details please look >here<.
