Question [Answered] How do set up a partition in Windows Vista

I got vista installed but now I cant install Autodesk Inventor it pops up incompatibal operating system.

So I though id partition my c drive so I can run Windows XP then install Autodesk Indentor on that.

But I have never done this and vagly know how so some help is wanted!



Also while sort of on this subjec, a few weeks ago I ordered a copy of Ubunto poped it in my dvd drive and nothing, it works in my brotheres computer, id love to figure that out becouse I want to try it.

Hi there, partitioning isnt my area of expertise, but a staff member should be with you shortly.

Hi I have found the best way to do this is to use MS Virtual PC This is how I run Autocad 2005 in Vista Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

easier than setting up partitons and more reliable but if you feel you need to do a multiboot post back here
