Ah, the problem here is that there's no "easy install" option, meaning that
the installation of both the guest and appropriate VM tools (Virtual Machine
Additions in this case) is done automatically. Also, since Windows 7 hasn't
been officially released, it is not recommended you try and use VLite to
create an unattended iso. Fine if it works great, but I wouldn't be held
responsible if you then did the unattended for real and find things just
don't work as expected. I suppose what you could do is grab the many
freeware or shareware iso manipulation tools out there (I use PowerIso,
www.poweriso.com), modify the iso file so that autounattend.xml is placed in
the root folder, then use that iso to install 7. I may investigate these
possibilities and report back. Oh yes, even if it was possible to install 7
unattended, do not expect audio output immediately after install.

Just a thought - suppose you could also try out using something like the
MS virtual PC software since it seemed to be quite easy to in fact mount
an ISO image into it's virtual CD drive.
Stay well

The disk utilities in Vista should help, but if not you can get a free
but basic partition utility called Paragon Partition Manager Express. You
could also boot into a live CD of Vinux, install Gparted, and use that to
resize your current partition, so you can create additional ones. Please,
back up all data before proceeding, as messing with incorrect partitions
could yield your PC unbootable. Thanks.

Could someone tell me how to create a partition? Or is it too
complicated?

You will need to create a partition if you don't have one already. You
then
need to tell Windows setup to install onto that partition. After
installation! You'll get a boot menu with Windows 7 most likely being
the
first choice then your previous operating system below that.

Yes, but it's not an official version so download and use at your own
risk.
I'd say if you can try it out in a virtual environment, then perform a
dual
boot, then, if you're a geek like me, attempt to install it over your
current operating system. Enjoy!
