Hi, my name s Cody, and I m working with the Windows Outreach Team to help answer questions about the Windows 7 Beta. Here s a great guide that should be helpful in walking you through the process of dual booting: http://lifehacker.com/5126781/how-to-dua... I hope this is helpful! Thanks, Cody Windows Outreach Team

First 20gb is a bit small although you will be able to fit the OS on there, I would recommend maybe 30GB just in case you are going to install photoshop / office / any benchmarking apps You want to make sure the partition is primary and not logical Once you ve got that covered, download the ISO, then extract it onto your desktop and run the install from there. Or you can follow the guy above s instructions if you burnt a DVD instead

Use this website. I have already done this so trust me. http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista... Its dead simple. It gives you 3 options on how to partition the space. You can go into windows and right click on Computer in start menu. Then click manage and then click disk configuration at the side.But follow the instructions. It says XP on this but it does exactly the same with Windows 7

restart ur computer and at the first screen press like f10 or somethin and the go to boot options. then enable floppy boot or somethin and then save and exit. it will automaticly restart. then let the first screen pass and when it says press any button to boot cd press somethin. then follow the instructions and it will do the rest. good luck. im typin this on windows seven.

Just install Windows 7 from the desktop. That s what I did because for some reason my computer would not boot from the DVD i burned. Just select the partition you want to install windows 7 on and it works. Just be sure you don t accidentally install it on the windows vista partition.

hi, you can use the program acronis image to do the partitioning. First have vista installed on drive c. if its already installed, then you can go ahead and install windows 7 on the other partition. Windows 7 is awesome. I love it. Good Luck!
