The pictures underneath are used for windows vista. Windows 7, however, is almost identical. This is for anyone who is a bit nervous on dual-booting. !!!!!!!Precautions!!!!!!!!(i never follow these rules)1. Back up your data!2. Always have a way to get back online. Here is torrent links to vista and windows 7Vista: 32-bit: <a href="http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/60069925/vista?tab=summary" target="_blank">http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/60069...ab=summary</a>Windows 7(build 7100):32-bit: <a href="http://www.mininova.org/tor/2521167" target="_blank">http://www.mininova.org/tor/2521167</a>64-bit: <a href="http://www.mininova.org/tor/2521354" target="_blank">http://www.mininova.org/tor/2521354</a>Partitions:If your running any windows OS, your on a NFTS partition. Windows=NFTSSo if we want to duel-boot two window OS's, then we need to make another NFTS.1. Go to start2. Now right click on Computer and go to manage<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />3. Go to Disk Managment<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />4. Take your main partition, right click, and shrink<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />5. Choose how big you want your other Partition. **REMEMBER**Every 1024MB is equal to 1 Gig<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />6. You should now have an unallocated space. This means, nothing is on there and which can be formated into any type of format<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />7. We want to change the Unallocated space into NFTS, so we can duel-boot another Windows OS.<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />8.  We just need a quick format into a NFTS. This is where you can also format different types. Such as Fat32.<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />9. We have a new NFTS partiton! Whch means you can put in another windows disc and install on that drive!!<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It also means you can access the other os since they are of the same format.<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj314/legym/11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Fixing partiton:1. Download easyBCD<a href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/EasyBCD.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-E...yBCD.shtml</a>That fixes the bootloader. Meaning, this is what your computer chooses to load first. When you duel-boot, your computer will get two options to boot from(Thus called dual-booting)2.Now, go to step 4 and instead of shrink, delete the partiton you no longer want.3. It should be free space. Delete the free space.4. Then right click on your main partition, and click expand. That combines the unallocted space into your NFTSThis might help someone, dunno. Hope everyone understood. Can someone get me out of my -1 rep. xD i hate seeing that~cheers <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
