I want to install windows 7 on my Laptop, but i have vista too. can i partition without losing vista? How? -

Vista has the capability to do this as far as I know, if Win7 is like Vista as MS says. It just depends if you have enough space on your computer. And just because you can t see anything on the other partition that came with the PC, does not mean that there is not important recovery informationquot;image(s)quot; on that drive. Mfrs put image file on PCs for recovery of you OS and they hide them from the OS s windows explorer so people won t delete them cuz they don t think they need them. RE: jimobasa2. You better hope your PC mfr did not do this, and if so you better have made recovery CD/DVDs or your screwed.

You can use VMware and run it inside of windows on a virtual machine without even partitioning your hard drive.

My Toshiba laptop is running Vista and Windows 7. My laptop came with an extra partition (Drive) labelled Data. Having checked and found absolutely nothing on it, I installed Windows 7 on it and it has been running sweet for ten days now. Vista has a built-in partitioning tool.
