When you look from Vista all drives will be visible, if you look from 7 the Vista C:\ drive will be hidden I suppose as an attempt to stop people from accidentally deleting things.

When you install anything from 7, it will install into the 7, C:\ Partition as C is the default install Partition, but obviously you cannot have two drive C`s Hence the confusion and the drive letter F:\ which should correspond to the Vista F:\

No I think you would be best to leave it as it is, so that you do not mess anything up

All other partitions (except C:\ and F:\) could be changed so that the partition letters are the same from Vista and 7 This will help if you want to use a particular folder for example for music as it will be in the same place regardless from which OS

I hope this makes some sort of sense
