Default Create Disk Partition / Dual boot?

Thanks much to all you guys.. your input has been helpful...I have a 500 gb
drive and over 300 of it is free, so I plan to shrink etc per
instructions... the 3rd party software I am wanting to test under Win 7 does
not run in Vista 64 bit environment...

Thank You again
Lee
