I'm in the Live CD and I've followed the steps to the migration assistant. Where it should say "Windows XP Media Center Edition" it claims that "There were no other users or operating systems suitable for importing from"

Also, on the where to install to step, Where at the top it should say that another operating system is installed, it is blank.

I'm wondering if I continue the installation, on boot-up will it detect windows?

I have searched this, and after 15 pages of results, I have not come to a definite conclusion.

Most probably -- NO. What it will most likely do is overwrite whatever you have on the drive, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to restore that stuff.

When the installer does NOT recoginize what you have on the drive, that is a good time to terminate the installation -- and come here with questions, as you have done.

Thank you so much! What could I do so that Windows is detected and I won't ruin my XP installation?
