I gotcha now Simon and Sigma. I just set up a dual boot of XP and Vista (which I found out isn't horrible) because I had no w7 disk. Whichever OS I boot too the partition is called C, so not just a w7 thing.
It will work for me becuase two OSes are enough unless I go the VM route to experiment.
As a further experiment I imaged the whole drive with both OSes, wiped the drive, then restored it successfully. I used free Macrium and its WinPE disk to restore the image.
