Dual boot: Windows Vista / Windows 7

Anyone of you that had tried to create a dualboot with Vista and Windows 7?

Tomorrow I will give it a try and am still looking for nice walkthroughs..

I think I'm gonna use this one:
http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-dual-boot-win-vista-with-windows-7/2009/01/11


It looks easy, so I will see...

Or has anybody of you find better walkthroughs...


Now I am downloading:
Windows Vista Home Premium NL 64 bit*
Windows 7 beta Home Premium UK 64 bit

* I've got a legal Windows Vista Home Premium NL 32 bit key...
I can use that key to install a downloaded (retail DVD) 64 bit Vista, isn't it?

And I need the 6224W 64 bit drivers... They aren't no the FTP anymore =s
Where can I find them...

 

The linked article will do just fine.
I use Gparted myself for partitioning but that's just personal preference.
Make sure you have defragmented your HDD before partitioning though.
Don't know about the 6224 64-bit drivers but I've only had to update Win 7 to get an appropriate VGA driver, the rest was automatically installed, even my Atheros wireless card.
Cheers.

 

All you need to do is shrink the Vista partition and create a new one for Windows 7. That's all you need to do, seriously. You can even run the Win7 installer inside Vista, choose to install it on D:/ or whatever the partition label is and it takes care of the rest. You don't even need to burn it onto a DVD. Once it's done installing, it fixes the bootloader and most of the drivers are automatically installed.

 

Tomorrow I'm gonna install a brand new harddrive..
First I will install the Windows Vista (hopefully the 64 bit edition)

Than I'm gonna throw Windows 7 on the Zepto aswell...

And I've found the 64 bit drivers... Zepto has put them back on the FTP:
ftp://zepto.dk/Notebooks/Discontinued_Models/Znote6224W/Drivers/Vista/64Bit

And you just say: Install the official Windows 7 beta,
update it and everything has to work properly? That's quite nice!

 

I had to install a drivers for a few things (touchpad, audio), but overall it was smooth sailing. Although I experience quite a few annoying bugs within the OS itself.

 

Ahh okay okay!
Hmm I will see how the installation of Windows 7 will be..
The installation of Vista hmm will take 1 / 1,5 hour I think..

And I haven't seen any screenshots of Windows 7
I haven't read any reviews so far (just heard that it's better than Vista)
I haven't read any topics about the user experiences with Windows 7..

I just want to experience it myself..
And if I don't like it, I'm gonna uninstall it and love my Windows Vista install =)

 

I just did it on my Mythos A15 and it was easy as pie.

I used this walkthrough ( http://lifehacker.com/5126781/how-to-dual-boot-windows-7-with-xp-or-vista), but the process is so easy that you can barely screw something up.

 

Today I finally found the time to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
(with a 32 bit key WHIEJAA) so this week I will install Windows 7 as well...

 

And Windows 7 is installed, easily and just a piece of cake..
Haven't tried it for so lang, maybe 15 minutes.. It's a bit 'bold' in my opinion..
But that's not Zepto related so I'm not gonna discuss Windows 7 here
