Q: I used to install Windows XP on drive C and Vista on drive D. Now I want to merge the C and D partitions into one for Windows 7 only. Windows 7 is installed using an image file on the hard disk. Is it easier to start to the PE environment and use daemon tools to load the image file on the hard disk?
A: In Windows XP, use the pqmagic partition tool to delete disk D and merge it into disk C to perform lossless partitioning. You can install Windows 7 directly from the hard disk without using Windows PE. After the image is loaded through the Virtual optical drive, copy the file in it to any drive letter except drive C, such as "D: \ win7", and then copy "D: "Boot", "EFI", "Source", and "bootmgr" in the \ win7 "folder to the C root directory. Copy "“bootsect.exe" under the D: \ win7 \ bootcategory directory to the C root directory. Run cmd, enter c: \ bootsect.exe/nt60 C:, and press enter to run. Restart the system to automatically go to the installation page, click the "repair my computer" option in the lower left corner, select the last command prompt, enter the DOS window, and enter "D: \ win7 \ sources \ setup.exe "to enter the installation interface, you can install Windows 7.
