No problem.
D: is your OEM Vista recovery partition. If you use it, then you will not be able to restore your OEM Vista back to a factory default condition with it.
Sorry Nonpasarn. I meant to say that your first partition is the OEM recovery partition instead.
If you do not have anything on the D: drive that you want to keep, then yes you can select it during the installation of Windows 7, format it, and finish installing Windows 7 on it.
i did it
i created a new partition in and i named it as S and i install seven there and results

That's great news Nonpasaran. I'm happy to hear that you got Windows 7 installed in a dual boot with Vista. :)
Thanks for a very clear set of instructions which enabled me to instal Windows 7 first time!! This is probably a silly question but is it possible to switch from one operating system to another without having to reboot each time? Once again many thanks for an excellent tutorial. Roy
