| Open Partition Magic Under Pick a Task, click "Create new partition" > Next > make sure "After C: (Recommended)" is selected > click Next > choose how much space you want allocation to the partition (I recommend 15 to 20 GBs) > next and finish > click Apply > restart system for changes to take effect. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "solid_snake" <solidsnake@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:643ECC92-CB35-478A-AC05-ADA41953D88F@microsoft.com...

| Yes, I know, but I just assumed solid_snake owns the full version. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "firth" <firth@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:470CF59C-0F14-403B-B2C6-96E8FA7DF0C2@microsoft.com...

| now just put in the dvd to install vista. select the option to download updated installation files, wait a while. then it will give you the option to update or start a new installation. since you want to install vista on a new partition, select the 2nd option (not the upgrade os option). then it will give you the option to select the partition you want to install vista on. then your good to go.
