Windows 7 I installed Windows7 RC from within Vista, is this OK

[yugmot]

HI, Newbie to the forum here.
I could not get my Mesh PC to boot up from CD ( Yes I Did alter my BIOS) to install Windows 7 RC.
I had already created a New Simple Volume ready for my new Dual Boot System.
I am running Vista Home Premium.
After several restarts without success, I thoufght I would just try and install the new O/S from within Vista, directing Win 7 set up to install in to my new volume,
I now have a dual boot system with both operating systems working perfectly.
I am just an amatuer who likes trying out things. can a Techie guy or girl advise if I will come accross any problems loading Win7 in this way?

Thanks for any info on this subject.

Steve

I had the same problem. I had to install from XP. Works great for me. Since then I have removed XP altogether. W7 is sweet.
