Just will not install Win7. The installation program starts, just stops because it says not enough space.

I booted to the XP partition so I could install Win 7. Everything started Ok – then I got an error saying not enough space to put set-up files so installation was terminated. – I have about 30gb of free space in that partition. Greatly appreciate any assistance

1. Vista was pre-installed, so no talking about it. Install Vista.

2. Install Windows 7 on a secondary HDD, or on a partioned HDD.

3. Reboot. You will see the option to boot either Windows 7 or Windows Vista.

4. Enjoy ;)

How are you installing Win7 are you upgrading, different partition, separate HD?

Im using Win7 and I installed it on a separate hard drive to dual boot with vista

Running beta copies I almost never install right off the image normally I would make boot copy to dvd and do fresh install to deal with less issues. Lucky I had an old Hard drive laying around and installed it on that first then did a dual boot.

Your error could be win7 is looking for a fresh install not an upgrade or prehaps not able to find win files from image?

I have a dvd image of the new Windows 7 build 6801.
follow all the steps through the Microsoft Virtual PC.
but when the screen appears to install Windows 7, I click
install the button now, after a few seconds appears to me the following message

WINDOWS COUlD NOT COLLECT INFORMATION FOR (OSImage) SINCE THE
SPICIFIED IMAGE FILE (INSTALL.WIN) DOES NOT EXIST

Who knows what should I do?
I appreciate your help.

greetings to all

Rerun Vista repair startup from DVD. It should list Win7 and Vista BUT can only repair Vista startup.

If doesn’t work 1st time, rerun Vista DVD reboot and repair startup.

From Vista it lists Vista as C drive and Win7 as D drive. From Win7 C drive and Vista D drive. Don’t alter either!

Don’t use VistaBootPro (within Vista) until AFTER the dual boot pre-environment screen has functioned properly. Stay with rudimentary options (rename, boot order, timeout), there’s far too much to screw up everything fooling around deeper.
