    Windows 7 A question about dual booting

    All right, say I installed W7 from a DVD onto a partition on my hard drive... (I'm gonna give it 20 GB, since my HD is 640 GB) Would I be able to make it so that my computer would automatically choose my 64-bit Vista OS to boot without prompting me? My reason for this is that my mom is really...
