How do you handle the multiple operating system such as vista and ubuntu?
You have to install both operating systems to get a 'dual boot' system. I would suggest installing vista first, then installing ubuntu. Doing it the other way around will mean that the ubuntu installation will not be recognized after you install Vista, so do the Vista install first.The Ubuntu Grub loader will be able to recognize the Vista partition and should present you with a menu when you boot the machine as to which operating system you want to use.The easiest approach to this would be to install Vista on one partition and ubuntu on a different partition of your hard drive.

I upgraded vista to windows 7 and now i want to use vista without deleting windows 7 but i already installed windows 7 so that means i can't dual boot right so what do i do?
You can still dual boot. 1) Download a program that makes partitions in your hard drive 2) Partition so there is as much space as you need to install Vista 3) Install Vista on the separate partition as a CLEAN INSTALL (This step must be done in order for it to work 4) Once installed, start up computer and there should be two options to boot OS. Just choose the one that you want. Hope this helps!
