Hi, i recently purchased an Acer 4820tg. It came pre Installed with Windows 7 64 Bit OS.
The Vendor said that this machine didnt allow us to freely Partition the drives, so I got just 2 partitioned drives C and D .
Now I need to Install a software on my laptop, which requires Windows 2003 server OS 64-bit to run.
With my current settings and partitions , can I also install Win 2003 , such that My PC becomes Dual Bootable? ( I dont want to Format my Laptop)
 
AFAIK this is possible, after installing win 2003 server, you will not be able to access win 7 , you may have to correct the boot entries.
just search on google & you will find one.

perhaps you can use win 7 dvd to fix it.
 
have you tried the xp mode, XP 64 bit (32 bit does) is not different than 2k3 internally. It may save your day.

you may as well try hellgate suggestion next. If nothing work than you can make it dual boot, after that need to repair win7 startup so you should have its DVD with you. Another imp point is that if you have data in D:, copy that.
