Vista install help needed please
« on: June 08, 2006, 11:35:37 PM »
Hi there, I have just downloaded vista beta 2 and was wondering if you can install it on a dual partition so I can still keep XP?

If so, please can someone let me know how to do this?

Many thanks in advance

Joe

    If you go that route, backup your data first, and regularly. It is a  beta product and it is a Microsoft product. Disasters WILL occur.

    Eek!  No way would I let an MS beta share disk space with a working PC!!!  Backups notwithstanding.
    Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.
