Install windows 7 Beta alongside Vista

Is it possible to install Windows 7 build 7000 on a hard disk with two partitions and one has Vista. I want to try Windows 7 but I don't want to lose my Vista partition.
Windows 7 Beta build 7000 is avail. for download at Microsoft until 24 January 2009

thanks in advance

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

Yes, Windows 7 has a boot manager built in.
I put in on as dual boot with XP home. Working well so far.
Here's a little help if you need it.
