Guys, Im not sure either this is the correct sub forum or not.. PLEASE HELP!
My office are using an old HP PC, running on Windows VISTA (yeah, I know..). My Boss asked me to install Dual-Boot Windows there, with Windows 7 as the 2nd OS without touching the Vista OS. After I did a new partition on the hard disk, I installed the Windows 7 without boot, straight installation through Windows. The process is very slow, and as the office is closing, I cancelled the installation and restarted the PC.
And here is the problem. After restart, the PC goes into loop mode showing HP Restore & Factory Reset (..something like that). There's an option to restore from checkpoint, and when I click on it, I can still see there's old OS (Drive C: ) on the disk. That means the Vista OS is still there, right??
If I continue on installing Windows 7, and again select to install on the new partition, will I still be able to run both Windows Vista & Windows 7 in dual-boot?
Thanks!
