746122 2009-02-09 03:19:00 Thats right it'll ask you which one you want to boot from. Once its installed, and you reboot Speedy Gonzales (78)

I meant that if 7 doesn't pick up all your devices automatically, go looking for Vista drivers, not 7 drivers :)

746124 2009-02-09 03:26:00 The only prob I had was with this old K8N mobo.

Win 7 didnt install or have Nforce drivers for the LAN, or soundcard. BUT, I managed to find some that worked

746125 2009-02-09 03:46:00 Windows 7 is very simple to dual boot with.
Just shrink D or C drive a bit. Then install W7 on the free space.

746126 2009-02-09 04:15:00 Dual booting is very easy to set-up, usually the older o/s is installed 1st (XP on 1 drive), the later o/s Vista\7 or other, and install on 2nd drive. The 2nd install will up date the boot loader for you giving an operating system menu after PC POST.
I do this and re-direct my documents to a 3rd drive which also other partitions. In XP, I have the Vista partition or drive label V:\Vista, the XP drive c:, In Vista XP = X: Vista C:,

Setup your shares correctly, each o/s has access to the same data files, music, storage and games...

How many physical hard drives do you have and how are they partitioned?
Also what size of partitions do you have?

746128 2009-02-09 09:07:00 Well I have 7/64 installed on D: and it is running well.

Now some more expert advice.

How do I run a program installed on C: and E: in 7?

How do I setup e-mail in 7?

IE works ok but I have no OE and I can't find anywhere to set it up

746130 2009-02-09 18:38:00 Vista 64 comes with Windows Mail and Win7 is the same.
No outlook express in either.
