^ Yep... That's what I've done (installed Win7 on different drive) and it's no brainer. Go for it.
how much space is required in c drive to install win7. my c drive is 10gb and presently using winxp?
That's not going to help MohitPreet, I have installed it on different HDD and my Windows folder currently weighs about 13.8GB.... so I don't think 10GB is going to suffice, plus clearly if you XP installed on your C drive you would have even lesser space free.
If you want to dual-boot, you should consider installing it on different partition with at least 20GB space (more the merrier).

uday are you sure your friend is installing the latest drivers i.e WDDM 1.1 v185.85 WHQL?
GeForce/ION Driver Release 185
If this one doesn't work, try the older ones.. vista drivers will also work, I've tried 2 of em.
@DS: Make a 15gb "dynamically expanding" virtual drive (not the "fixed size" option)... so it will be 15gb but only grow as much as required
i installed windows 7 32-bit on a 10.1 gb partition
everything works perfect without a hitch.
i have installed kaspersky, firefox, foxit, winrar, yahoo, gtalk and live messengers. and still it says 2.36 gb free remaining in the partition.
now i just need to install codecs and maybe office 2007 as well.

^ You are using pre-rc version mate... The RC is scheduled to expire on 1st June 2010. Your beta will expire soon, so I suggest you better upgrade to RC version.
