    Ok, first off, apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I need some info.

    I want to dual boot Windows 7 on My AAO. I know some people have done it successfully already, but I have questions. I'm not really a noob, but I'm kinda new to the dual boot thing.

    First, I've never made a bootable USB stick. Some of the info I've found thru Google seems awful dated. Can someone direct me on how to do this properly in Windows XP?

    Second, will creating a new partition for 7 on the AAO render the Acer recovery prtition useless? I have no idea, as the recovery partition on my current Acer was accidentally wiped a few years ago. I don't want to mess this up!

    Thanks in advance for the help!
