I want to dual boot Vista64 and Windows 7. I have a 600GB drive with Vista
and all programs. I also have a 1.5TB drive that I use for storage and a
disk image of the 600GB drive. I know I need to partition the 1.5TB drive
to install 7, but I've never done this before. Can I partition without
having to format? If so, how? Can I use Disk Management to do this?

T.I.A

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Thanks. It's done. Never realized how easy it is to partition an extra
drive using Disk Management. Sucks that Windows Mail isn't included. I
guess I'll have to get used to Live Mail.

I'm not too tickled with the look, but I'm getting used to it.
