Default Dual Boot Installation with a fresh 10V - 07-15-2010, 10:27 PM

First and foremost I am a complete noob to this. But I was hoping anyone had an efficient way to do a dual boot with Win7/SL with the already preloaded Win7. I looked at this Advanced 2: Multi-Boot Configuration | Guides | OS X | mechdrew and was hoping there was a more clear step by step. I also was wondering if I would be able to use the win 7 disc that comes with the computer?

Thank you for your help all.

Do a search for installing using MBR then you can leave win7 alone just add a partition.

Is it possible to just add another partition without getting rid of window seven already installed?

Yes, right mouse click computer at your start button then left click manage. At the dialogue box left click disk management it's a cakewalk from there. Use fat32 for file system.
