    If I were to install Windows 7, and I have that data partition, can both windows 7 and Vista use that one data partition.

    Hello sorry for asking again, maybe what I asked didn't make too much sens. If i install Windows 7 as a dual boot with Vista, can they both share the data partition partition. Meaning can I change the locations of the folders like documents, music, and videos. Both in vista and in Windows 7, I already redirected the folders in Vista.

    Absolutely. That is what I always do. I create the data partition from the Vista side and then I just make a library of those folders (Music, Pictures, etc.) on the Win7 side. Very easy and convenient.
    Initially it may bark at you because of a permission problem, but that is easy to fix in the security tab of Properties.
