Can I install Windows 7 on an empty hard drive partition? -

I want to install Windows 7 beta on my laptop and I have my entire D drive empty, is there a way of installing windows 7 on that partition without affecting the drive with vista on it?

yeah sure,but becarefull cuz windows vista doesnt allow two windows at the same time ,i think it will allow that but you will get some errors on the way, i personally suggest to you not to install windows 7,bcuz it is beta

Yes, and you can choose when you want to boot from Vista or Windows 7. Just put Vista on C and Windows 7 on D. :)
