    You will need a second product key for the second install of Windows 7.

    You can also link the files from the other OS into the booted OS's related Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums.'

    That way in Documents, for example, you'll see all Documents from both OS's in one window. If you want to drag one to the other OS you can do it there.

    One tip, I would NOT use the same User name for both 7's to avoid confusion, if you are truly exposing all files to both.

This afternoon I went ahead and tried to do a Windows xp and 7 dualboot setup. I installed Windows 7, resized the partitions, and loaded up xp.
