just install win 7 first. define how big you want it, or just shrink it from within windows after install and leave unpartitioned space for Qubes. Then choose option in QUbes to install alongside windows, Then, after install, you will have to add windows entry to the Qubes grub menu to boot both. When I get around to it, I'm going to try to add windows to my Qubes grub too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
