How can I install Windows 7 after Slitaz

I want to install windows in a computer where is installed Slitaz. I want to have both of them on this pc. I will tell you how things are:

I had this pc with windows xp installed on it, it has 3 partitions: drive c: (51,6 gb), another one (20,3 gb) and a 3rd one (5,9 gb).

A virus had crashed the main disk and I couldn't fix it so I have my samsung galaxy s4 with drivedroid installed on it, I have used Slitaz, so it brought my computer back to life.

After sometime I have installed Slitaz on this computer, leaving it like the picture named 2.png

The problem is that I want to return to Windows and leave Slitaz as a last resource SO.

I have everything prepared to install the SO (WINDOWS 7 32 BITS ULTIMATE) in drivedroid.

But I can't make the computer boot my phone.

In the bios it doesn't recognize it. Which is weird, as I have used my phone before as a booteable usb and it worked.

Another detail is that when I turn on this pc is that the grub list shows me the 2 SO of this pc: slitaz 4 and the old windows. If I select windows it gives me the following error:

Booting Microsoft Windows

Chainloader +1

Error 21: Selected disk does not exist.

Press any key to continue...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I enter in the bios menu, and disable the disk where the boot is and I connect the phone it gives me this:

reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What can I do?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note if this post is in the wrong section of the forum, I'm sorry, I don't know where to post it

Re: How can I install Windows 7 after Slitaz

I'm not very experienced with this stuff but i'm pretty sure that the chainloader error thing means that windows is not on your pc and I THINK it's better to use a dvd or flash drive and defenintly much easier and this:

reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key

means that your phone is not at the top of the boot order(this might only apply to old pc's i don't know)or that your pc can't read your phone so there's either something wrong with the pc,phone or burned windows OS(most probably the pc)but not an expert at this i'm just newb who started a week ago and i'm going off of my pesonal experiences.So yeah i hope this helps.
