Thank you very much. So I can boot on XP and if there is no wireless connection I can install the Linksys driver. It says to install the driver first and then connect the wireless adapter. I guess I will have to disconnect the adapter (USB) that is working with Sindows 7 and then connect it again after installing the driver in XP. Can I use the same adapter?... Sorry for so many questions...
