Dual Boot..Vista /Win7

[ronpeck]

Hi! .........Have without success been trying to load Vista Ultimate/ Win7 as Dual Boot..it gets so far loading Win7 then setup tosses in the towel??.....tried a few things no luck
loaded XP/Win7 Dual boot no problems??
Has anyone else had problems or is there some secret??

It does work, so there must be something specific in your setup causing the problems. How does the install process end, do you get any errors or crashes?

I think this could be another case of bad ISO burn, try burning the image again, but at a lower speed

Thanks all it is sorted

You're installing Vista first, right? You're using separate partitions, right?

Can you tell us how you fixed it for the help of others, who have this problem, or similar, thanks

Dual Boot Vista/Win7

Thanks for your replies..I spent hours on this..(installed Vista then from inside Vista tried to install Win7 to a second partition..no luck..worked from XP but not Vista) ..then there was a glitch in the reboot of Vista next thing I had the Vista install disc in to fix the boot and low and behold I had a dual boot..so I am not too sure how it happened.and I have now shifted on to trying the Virtual pc and am fast running out of time to try everything with Win7...Just a thought install both platforms on two seperate partitions then put in the Vista install disk and go to repair program..just a thought.. Have now tried this theory..and it works dual boot comes up after the repair and restart..ronpeck
