unable to open vista partition

[Chappy]

Ummm...you said you started the install from within Vista???
That's doing an Upgrade install, you may only have the "Rollback" image of your old Vista install now and that's why it's not accessible.

Hello Bossmayank619,

Have you already tried this method in Windows 7 to see the Vista partition?

tried that brink it didnt worked finally i have to do a clean install and windows vista and windows 7 with the dvd itself and it works good now ... guess i used the windows 7 iso image in vista to install windows 7 that caused the whole issue ... backed up my data but still lost quite a stuff though.

Well, I'm happy that you got it sorted out, but sad that you lost your data.
