I've spent quite a few days trying to install Win 7 in a dual boot enviroment with an existing Vista operating system.

Hi, I have XP Pro 32bit installed on a 160Gb Sata disc and I wanted to install the 64bit version of Windows 7 on another disc. My question is to protect my XP install should I disconnect the disc or is it safe to leave them both connected and just run a dual boot system. Cheers J. :razz:

Okay, read through many dual boot threads here but none seem to be quite like my problem. My system drive failed in a media center PC I have built. I used my XP MCE 2005 install CD to create a new system drive, on a 1TB disc which had formerly been reserved for movies only. There was still...

Need a bit of help here. I've been trying everything I could think of for the past 3 days but nothing is working out for me. I'm trying to set up W7 on my laptop, which already has Vista installed as the primary OS, and Ubuntu as a second OS. I was hoping the set up W7 as my third, but I've...
