Thanks for the advice Rick. I think I must just put it on hold. Maybe,
until my daughter comes to my house next time. That she can give me the
sighted assistance I will need to get used to it.

Hi Rogelio,
No, for 2 reasons.
1. At the pointthat you have the boot screen, no operating system has been
loaded yet,
therefore, speech is not available.
2. Jaws has to be installed on each operating system.
Once Windows 7 has been installed properly, it will be the default
operating system,
and if you do nothing, that is the one that will boot.
Use a USB headset, and after a bit of time has passed, you can press Alt +
the letter U, and Narrator will start talking.
If you want to boot into Vista, you will need to down arrow once during
the boot screen, and press enter.
On my system, since the computer doesn't make any distinctive noise, I
have to count to 45 before it is time to select the operating system.
The only way you will know for sure when it is time to select something
other than the default,
is too use, trial and error, which I don't recommend, or have someone tell
you when the boot screen is up
that is how I was able to determine how long to count.
If anyone has suggestions on another way, I would love to hear about it.
HTH,

Hi, I suggest you do a custom install and tell it to install to the new
partition. That way you'll have a dual boot configuration, with Windows
7 listed first, followed by Vista, which you can start by pressing down
arrow once at the dual boot screen and press enter. Hope this helps.

I do have a retail copy of Vista. So if I run the Windows 7 set up.
It will ask me if I want to keep Vista installed also? And how can I
make sure that my computer boots with Vista?

In that case! Make sure you backup the partition first as Windows 7
setup will overwrite the partition with the newly installed OS. These
so called partitions actually contain an image of the system when
shipped from the factory, so if you're not careful you could lose that
image, forever. Fine if that doesn't concern you, but should Windows 7
ruin your system and you have no way to reinstall Vista or whatever OS
you have then the only option you have is to buy a retail copy and use
that to reinstall the OS. Hope this helps. P.S. in most cases Windows
7 will not destroy yours or anyone else's system, but with it being a
release candidate Microsoft likes to get themselves covered by being
dramatic.

Your second question is a simple no, because the RC is actually the
ultimate edition of Windows 7. I personally found dual booting to be
easy, however each of us is different in terms of skills etc, so the
first one is hard to answer. With me I already had a spare partition
so was able to install the RC into that partition and I successfully
have a Vista/7RC setup.

I am currently downloading Windows7 RC. Is it hard to do a dual
operating system in my computer. Is it hard to do? If so, does
anyone have some type of tutorial that will help me with this?
Does Jaws 10.0 standard work with Windows7?
