I'm trying to install it on a VM machine but it doesn't work?

Is it better to install it on a partition and dual boot with Vista?
-in that case how much space do I need on that partition?

Try adding different HD type to the VM...
If it still doesn't work try to format the HD with XP's disk (NTFS).

From my experience, dual boot aint gonna happen (even with BCDEDIT). If you want to have multiple OS with this version of Win 7 its a BIOS boot order change each time or cable swapping. Access to existing Windows partitions from Win 7 also seems to be a no go though you can access the Win 7 partition from XP or Vista.

Dual booting Win7 6801 with Vista RTM doesn't seem to be a problem. As for other drives, I was missing only one of my HDDs after installing 6801 but all it took to bring it back was assigning a drive letter to it in Disk Management. All my other drives (drive 1: Vista partition + data partition, drive 2: data partition) appeared as they should do without my intervention.

Dual booting seems to work fine with Vista, and after installation about 9.3GB of the drive was used but that included a 2GB hibernation file and a 2GB pagefile. Officially I think 15GB is required but I don't have a link with a reference... 15-20GB should do just fine though.

I got no dual boot option at all. Whether that has anything to do with the fact my primary is a raid array I dont know, but it's supported in Vista so assumed it would be by Windows 7. I did have the option to install to it so it was obviously recognised during installation but I had no boot options after installing and the only options I had in disk manager was to initialize and format the raid array. The only way I could boot back to Vista was by unpluging the sata cable for the HDD 7 was installed on.

Wrong. It's Starter, Home Basic, Home Basic N, Home Premium, Ultimate, Business and Business N.
It just installs Ultimate by default, though this is easily fixed.

The features, such as Windows Media Center, it's in Vista Home Premium yet it's not in home basic.

they test beta's with ultimate edition by default so you can test all the features and make sure they arent buggy.
