The computer I was thinking about putting Windows7 on has 384mbs (I think) of RAM on it and a 902Mhz P4 cpu... lol
XP service pack 3 runs pretty slow on it. The original XP works run fine on it though. It's probably just all of the security software that comes with it though. |

The CPU doesnt even meet the minimal requirements. There is no way to even attempt it. Forget about the RAM the CPU isnt even close.

You can get into Safe Mode in XP. WHen the bootloader for the 2 OS's comes up, and you choose XP, QUICKLY hit F8 to get to the XP boot menu. Should be able to choose Safe Mode from there.

It doesn't work that way because its Win7's bootloader, not Xp's bootloader  . You have to choose to boot to XP first, then quickly press F8 to get to XP's advanced menu.

No, F8 is to get to the advanced boot menu for any Windows OS. You know, to get to safe mode, etc.
