Hello.
I’m sitting on XP, I was going to install the second Win 7 OS. However, at the very beginning of the installation, it turned out that the latter writes its data to the boot disk (as I understand it, to the boot sector), which is logical, but I don’t have it, due to the dominant XP more than 100-200 megabytes (win7 needs 700). Formatting and creating the partition structure again is basically not an option. Is there a way to put win7 in this situation?
Thank you.

Weird. You need exactly 100 megabytes for a boot partition joxi.ru/Dr8NevYSJoML26 You can simply allocate space from an existing gigabyte disk using programs like Acronis

I have a mess in my head, I ask leading questions:
1 sector = 512 what?
boot sector how much information does it take?
The section on which win7 writes its bootloader = 100MB, it is not necessary to create it.
For example: there is a 20 gig screw, let's say XP takes 10, format the rest 10 in NTFS and put the seven there, Windows will simply create a folder for the bootloader on the system partition, it is desirable to format it in MBR, not GPT + in the UEFI BIOS
