OK, I've installed on the laptop and it all works A-OK. (vista 32 to W7 32)
The strange thing is it is now offering a dual boot option to Vista each time. I thought that Vista would have been over written.
How do I get rid of this ?
TIA

Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
Ok - Have removed the boot option using BCD, but still have a unused partition.

It was....or so I thought.
I booted from the DVD and selected custom install, as this had been touted as excatly a clean install. It wasn't.
Do I have to wipe the HDD in order for this to work ?

How easy is it to get win7 + linux set up as a dual boot?
Any good tutorials about on that?
Probably thinking of ubuntu as thats supposed to be one of the better variations.

Hello,
quite easy.
have empty space on the drive.
at partition step of ubuntu select use free space.
accept.
then setup the users information.
Then click on the advanced button in the right hand bottom corner.
make sure you install the bootloader to the first linux partition partition which should be an EXT4 partion. just click on the arrow and scroll down to the correct partition. once the correct one is selected click ok and then click install.
then once install is done reboot to windows.
install easybcd 2 beta lastest build. will have to sign up to the forum. select linux grub,name the boot entrie and then select the partition you installed grub to. make sure you tick the box not installed to boot sector. make sure you save the changes.
once you reboot you will see two boot entries windows (whatever version) and the one you named yourself.
if setup correctly ubuntu should boot.
if you have questions feel free to ask
