    click this link:
    Windows 7 is in beta now,it would be a good idea to wait until it comes out of beta before installing it.

    It only seems to work if you use XP, however formatting for a beta OS is not the best of ideas, i would back up your work and run W7 on a virtual OS

    I wouldn’t recommend installing a BETA version it’s not the finished product and susceptible to frequent crashes

    I wouldn’t do it if it asked and I would install Windows 7, since it’s still in beta stages and there are at least 1-2 more beta stages to follow after this one.

    Yes, like XP, it will ask you if you want to delete a partition. I am not sure if you can use, free space in the drive, so you can do dual boot.
