For Windows 7 Users: How to use Windows XP by making a dual-boot Operating System Configuration

Many of you may have problems going to HT, Zakum, or playing Maple at all due to compatibility problems with Windows 7. Playing MapleStory on Windows 7 often results in the client automatically closing unexpectedly at certain bosses or pretty much anywhere, sometimes without an error message. I myself have found that changing graphics and restarting computer can sometimes fix these problems, but it is not a surefire solution.

A last-resort fix to this compatibility predicament is to install Windows XP on your computer. But I don't mean reformatting your hard drive (erasing your computer) and reinstalling everything. I'm talking about installing a SECOND operating system, allowing you to keep all your old files. Installing a second operating system properly will give you an option when you start-up your PC to choose to boot either Windows XP or Windows 7. This is especially convenient, because when resistance of compatibility problems becomes necessary, you can choose to run Windows XP on your dual-boot OS configuration PC!

You can only do this if you obtain a Windows XP setup CD or ISO file, as well as remembering to install a CD burner such as Roxio. This can be done either by legitimately purchasing the product for about $90, or by pirating the ISO file via torrent download and then burning it to a disk. I recommend the latter. You can find plenty of Windows XP setup torrent downloads on thepiratebay.org

After that, just follow this wonderful-ass guide:
