Running Vista inside Windows 7

[Decode]

At the moment I have 2 partitions on my disk, partition 1 has Windows Vista on it and partition 2 has Windows 7 on it. I have downloaded Microsoft virtual PC so I can run Vista inside windows 7, I can't figure out how to boot from it. I think its asking me to have 2 os's on the 1 partition, but I already have Vista installed on the other one.

Is there any way to run an already installed version of Windows Vista in virtual PC?

No there isn't that I know of.
You'd have to mount or use a real (by real i mean real cd not genuine :P) cd, and install it again.

Also, I'd recomend VMWare over Microsoft Virtual PC ;)

Okay, thanks. I would have used Virtual PC to put it on the same partition, but I can't because I only left 50GB for the windows 7.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: Yes. VMWare workstation and a **** load of fiddling.

I think I will just wipe the vista partition the make a new one over it with no OS installed, then put the Virtual PC file on there.
