Mar 15, 2011 my system has windows7 in my c drive and xp in my e drive. I have an old cd which can run on xp but not on 7. But whenever i install a software needed to run the cd, it gets installed in c drive,not in e drive where my xp is. So i am unable to.
radiology1We need to know whether you have the dual boot feature set upon on your system - do you have the choice of which operating system - Windows 7 or XP - to boot from when you boot the computer ?
'But whenever i install a software needed to run the cd ,....'
What software needed to run the CD ?
'....it gets installed in c drive ,not in e drive where my xp is. so i am unable to run the cd.'
' how can i install that software in e drive. while installing the software does not ask where it to be installed.'

Almost all software installations have a default choice or a Custom choice or similar, or you can often change the location of where it is installed from the default - e.g.change the drive letter to E at the beginning of the location.

Not necessarily.

If 2000 or XP was installed when there were no other hard drive partitions Setup can detect as having previously been assigned a drive letter, Setup will assign C to the partition Windows itself is installed on.
However, if Setup DOES detect other hard drive partitions as having previously been assigned a drive letter, Setup will assign the first drive letter available alphabetically to the partition Windows itself is installed on, NOT C.
You can get around that at least two ways - either disconnect all other hard drives while running Setup if all the other drive partitions are on other drives, or use a third party 'partition manipulation' program to HIDE all other hard drive partitions BEFORE you run Setup.
On the other hand, I found, for the first installation of Vista on a computer, that Vista's Setup assigns C to the partition Windows itself is installed on, regardless of whether it detects other hard drive partitions were already assigned a drive letter including C, at least it does when the other partitions were made in 2000 or XP. The same probably applies to Windows 7.

I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect when Vista's or Windows 7's Setup detects there is already one Vista or Windows 7 installation, it will assign D to the partition Windows itself is installed on, or the first available drive letter, for the second installation.
(Vista still sees partitions that were hidden by doing that with a third party 'partition manipulation' program)
SO....
- if XP was installed first, if there were no other hard drive partitions Setup can detect as having previously been assigned a drive letter, Setup will assign C to the partition Windows itself is installed on.

- if you then were to install Vista (or, probably, Windows 7) Setup assigns C to the partition Vista's Windows itself is installed on.
When you boot XP, it sees it's Windows installation as being on C.
When you boot Vista, it sees it's Windows installation as being on C.
.....
If XP were installed after Windows 7 was installed, I suspect when you boot XP, it will NOT see it's Windows installation as being on C.
