Explanation:
The key to configuring dual-booting is ensuring that each operating system has its own partition or
hard disk drive.
To dual-boot with Windows 7, you need to be able to create a new volume of at least 15 GB.
Even if you have more free space available on the volume you want to shrink, you may not be able
to create a volume of the appropriate size because Windows Vista may not be able to move some
special types of data to a different place on the hard disk drive.
When configuring a new computer to boot between multiple operating systems, it is also necessary
to install operating systems in the order that they were released. For example, if you want to boot
between Windows XP and Windows 7 on a new computer, you need to install Windows XP before
you install Windows 7. If you install Windows XP after Windows 7, the Windows XP installation

routine cannot recognize the Windows 7 operating system installation, and the computer only boots
into Windows XP. It is possible to repair the computer from this point using Windows 7 startup
repair so that it dual-boots, but the simplest course of action is just to install the operating systems
in the order in which they were released by Microsoft.
