I'm partitioning on my 250GB HDD. I was given around 110,000MB worth of space. I'm just gonna take 50GB (should be more than enough) and work with that from there. Thanks!

However, windows disk management is not always able to work around fragmented files, so if it's a drive that has been used for a while and isn't well defragmented, you might not be able to "shrink volume" to a large enough partition size for a new OS. Best of luck. Also, it will ask you which OS to boot up when you startup the computer. |

It's not available from MS anymore, but you can still get a CD key from them. (Not that you'd need it considering many people were given the same keys which work an unlimited amount of times which can easily be found on OCN.)

You just need to restore your boot record using EasyBCD or the like. Then just go the same way you made the partition and delete it and then extend your Vista one to retake the 7 partition.
