Dual Boot Windows Vista and Windows 7

The logic in dual booting operating systems in Microsoft is easy as long as you install the older operating system first. Just like what I recently did with my Lenovo S10 where I triple-booted it with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003. I first installed the oldest operating system – Windows XP, followed by Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista; but of course, each operating system needs to reside in it’s own partition.

If you have downloaded your Windows 7 public beta already, go ahead and you can dual-boot it with your current Windows Vista.
