You can access the files (from Windows 7) in your Vista partition, but you won't be able to run those applications installed in Vista.

Although I named by new drive as 'Windows 7 (G), once the installation completed, it became 'C' drive, and my old vista partition (c) became 'd'drive. However, Vista also booting/working fine. Currently both windows are working fine and perfect. However, just a query... do I have to do any BCDEDIT???? or it is ok to keep as is, and use the system...? Also, I can see my vista partition as 'D' Drive now. So, can i use the programs installed in Vista partition, by going to its program files and accessing the programs????<br>Thanks for your help Admin. Regards. Hi, Damien,

You recommend using disk management in win7 to change the vista drive assignment to something other than c. This makes the vista parition visible in win7. My question is, after doing this, what happens when you boot up in vista? Does vista boot up as a c partition? Will each OS boot up as a c partition using this method?

It is only when you install both OS with the installer DVD, directly from the bootup screen, then will it show C on both partition. @C: If you start the Win7 setup from XP, you won’t be able to change the drive letter back to C.

XP and win 7 pro. The iso/dvd I have kept getting a cd rom driver error so I created a bootable usb drive but my laptop would not boot to it even if I hit F12 and selected "removable device" on the boot selection screen. So I just started setup while in xp and it installed. But now when I boot to win 7 the drive letter is D and not C. I have a dual boot on a desktop with xp and vista and it always changes the booted drive to C. How can I make it change to win 7 drive to c when I boot to it ? Thanks!
