By right it would be advisable to install vista before installing win 7 or one might face issue booting up. But then there's a way to overcome this. All you need to do is run EASYBCDA free utility which one can edit and play with Windows 7 boot settings in a few seconds. This easy-to-use tool lets you view bootloader settings, change boot settings, add/remove OS entries in bootloader, reinstall or uninstall bootloader, backup/restore boot settings and more.

Thnaks for your replyunfortunatly I cannot reinstall my all W7 enviroenment.So for now the solution would be that I install Vista on my D drive but after this I might not be able to boot W7 anymore as the bootloader or NTloader will be corrupted somehow.What would be the best approach by installing Vista on top of W7 and bee able to boot W7 afterwards ?Your experience is build from the one of others

Daniel has already told you how - reread his proposed answer - see that link highlighted in blue ;) and the 2nd paragraph he wrote right after that. Now keep in mind that during the install - Windows doesn't care what the drive letter is - it wants the logical partition its going to be installed on so it show as either partition0 on drive0, etc etc. This is where it pays to pay attention to details during the install or you'll dork up Windows 7 real good ;)MCSE, MCSA, MCDST [If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.
