I like to copy the new Win7 installation over my Vista partition.

Yes. Create an image of the Windows 7 partition and save it in a convenient location. Then restore the image to the existing Vista partition. Before doing this, a couple of precautions are in order:
1. If Windows 7 installed a separate boot partition, you will need to back up and restore both the Win 7 boot partition and the Win 7 system partition.
2. The restored Win 7 installation may not boot. You will need to boot to the Win 7 DVD and do an automatic repair if this happens.
3. Make sure that the partition containing the Win 7 boot files (whether it's a separate partition or not) is restored as "active".

thanks for the info KOLO.
I hope it will be easier if future versions of TRUE IMAGE does inface a "TRUE" image - and that INCLUDES the MBR.

All images created by TrueImage contain a copy of the MBR.
