... , important keep windows vista working because wife uses office 2010 on that.
first, should download , install free version of macrium reflect in vista, use option image backup of vista external drive, , use option create , burn linux boot cd. these, have means restore vista in few minutes -- should go wrong during multi-boot setup.
second, if need more disk space next os, use vista disk management utility shrink vista. not use gparted or linix distro installer -- has resulted in corruption of windows filesystem, rendering unbootable. after shrinkage, boot vista couple of times can needed filesystem adjustments.
safe keeping, after shrinkage, should run mr backup. allow restore "shrunked" version of vista, should need to.
