Installing

Can I install Windows 7 on the same drive as Windows Vista and have dual
boot? Or do I need to have separate partitions. Does that work with
Vista on same XP drive too?

Re: Installing

You have to have separate partitions or drives in order to dual boot.

If you are going to multi-boot, each operating system should have its
own partition.
