    That sort of attitude will get you nowhere - it is only 2 hrs since you first posted. This BBS, like all others, is run by volunteers and in no way can you expect an instant response. Members log on as and when they wish and as they are spread around the world there are time differences to take into account. A response within 24 hrs is a reasonable expectation.

    i thank you very much for your answer .
    but it will impoosable for me to do it because i have window 7 installed all ready on a new 500 drive .
    so what you are saying is i would have to vista fisrt them window 7 .
    what if i install vista and up grade window 7 after is that work .
    sorry i don't know much about computer .
    if not i will do it by turnning off my pc and disconnect w-7 and connect vista .that way i will not get into trouble .
    then just use one of them for a month or so at the time .
    i will not go it my self .some one will do it for me so maybe he know what to do .

    No - that will not achieve what you want - the installation of Vista will be upgraded to Windows 7 and Vista will no longer exist.

    Given your understanding of computers I agree that you would be well advised to have an experienced computer person to do this for you. I know of no method of installing Vista in a true dual boot when Windows 7 is already installed.
