thanks in advance
Sure it would be very easy to do in using the free boot manager GAG...download it and install it and then install W7 on any free partition.

If your computer uses a SATA drive then you may have problems locating a driver for the SATA controller ( I think that W7 has most controller drivers ) Try to install it first and go from there
