You can create dual boot systems to run both windows 7 and vista. You need to partition your hard disk as each o/s needs to be on its own.

Normally is important as well the order in which you install things. Should normally install the older o/s first then install as new (ensure you do not pick upgrade) the newer o/s.

There is a article here which explains the partitioning process. Easier to see pics and try explain

I DO RECOMMEND YOU BACKUP YOUR STUFF BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING.

I know what to do as I have dual boot XP and Vista but in cases like this where providing links to detailed explanations already given is better.

If you want to do more reading on this then google

"dual boot windows 7"

Here is another link which explains what to do
