I can triple booot Windows XP Media Center edition, Windows 7 RC1 and XP Professional?

I installed Windows 7 in another partition on my hard drive with windows XP media edition Center on the other. I want to install a new copy of XP on another partition but windows will start Manager work with 3 installs OS.
Thank you

Mattacrazy108,

You can have three different installations of an operating system to boot from. However, that being said, if you have installed Windows 7 it would be no easy way to get the third XP OS on the machine. You must uninstall the current two operating systems on your computer. From there, you would need to format and install first either XP Pro, then Media Center verse or vise. After these two operating systems have been installed, you can then install Windows 7.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Upgrade installing XP Pro Media Center of in the Windows environment.  Just start the installation of XP Pro computer and then insert your Media Center CD in the CD-ROM drive and upgrade the installation, provide the Media Center product key when you are prompted.  If this fails, you will need to install from a flat folder, post again if the upgrade fails and we can give you the flat installation instructions.

    A few years ago, I built a system which consists of MS Windows Media Center Edition.  Recently, the hard drive failed.  I replaced the drive with a 1 TB Seagate Barracuda SATA drive.  Strangely, I can't reinstall MS Windows Media Center.  To clarify... with MS Windows Media Center cd in the drive, the installation went well.  The hard drive has been formatted and that the CD-ROM files have been hard disk messages were present.  The next step was a reboot by MS Windows cd.  This is where the installation fails. After the reboot, the Windows XP splash screen came as if the program Windows opened on your desktop.  At halfway through the splash screen, the system restarts.  Reboot forever more.  I don't know what is happening. Anyone?
