Finally moved up to win7, but my CAD package that ran under DOS (its
that old) will not run under Win7 or the virtualXP window (it does run
under winXP.  I like it (designCAD) because I've used it for so long
that it takes me only minutes to draw something up.  I have the windows
version but its not as easy to use.

So I attempted to install XP on the new laptop (HP G7-1260) after
resizing the volume to give a 100G partition for it, and then running
the XP install it crashes before it gets to the actual installation
part.

So my options are:=20

1. wipe the drive and install XP...then install Win7
2. Keep my old machine for the CAD program
3. Find a new free and easy to use CAD program.  I need to be able to
import/export DXF from it. =20
