There is a built in dual boot in Vista. If you find microsoft knowledge base and look for the dual boot tem under vista it will tell you how. Before you do use the D partition, run a full bootable backup from the software that is on there. It is set up that way so if you need to recover the boot up, it will go to the D drive for the information. That is why you do not have a boot disk provided with Vista.
