Message: [QUOTE="LVTravel, post: 7129420"] If you have a retail version of the software and only have it installed one time then you possibly can install it into the Win 7 partition and activate it. Retail versions allow the installation on a primary device, your Win XP install, and a "portable" device, the Win 7 install, for the exclusive use of the primary user of the primary device. (My paraphrasing. While it is technically not a portable device I don't think the Microsoft install cops will come checking. If it is an OEM version it can only be installed on the original computer (it can't be transferred to a different computer but can be used in a different operating system on the original computer) in one partition at a time. If it is an enterprise version it is the same as OEM. Of course you do realize that the Win 7 beta partition will, in all probability, have to be dumped and rebuilt when Win 7 is released as a final version and you desire to install it. [/QUOTE]
