Boot Win Vista after installing Windows 7

**Simpson** · 18-02-2009

I have dual boot. A partition with win XP and another with Vista.
I downloaded to install on the partition where is Windows XP.
Before I install, I wanted to know, as is the question of the Boot order.
Vai to boot normal, recognizing both OS or have to repair to the Vista.
If yes, how?

Another question. What has to be the size of the partition windows 7 to be installed?
In XP I have 20 GB and 40 GB Wista.
Is good or better would be to increase the partition of windows 7?
Thanks

I have a configuration system similar to its ... I have XP and Vista and just install Win 7 ... Boot was my first list of the XP (with the default name of the previous version of Windows) on Windows 7 was the second and third in the Windows Vista (with same name right) ... tested 3 and are working perfectly ... the partition where win 7 has installed 20 GB ... and installed only for testing, I imagine that will not need more ... 'm now with the full Office 2007 installed and a few more basic program (Avast, Messenger, Firefox, etc ...) and not enough 80% of the partition ... then you think that test okay ...

I hope I have helped a hug!

Thanks ArtisticVisions,
But in my case, do a clean install instead of XP.
And as some of the Vista boot files are there in XP, I have my doubts if there will be corruption of the Boot Vista?

So, clean install will probably delete the files from the boot manager 's in the XP partition, then you do not roll ... or think you install it with the other 2, or else will have to redo the boot manager after ... just do not know if one is to redo the boot manager ...
