I finally got Vista installed using DAMON tools since i was having DVD trouble. Dual boot works just fine. I seem to be having trouble connecting wirelessly though cause wireless networks doesnt show up. I'll try and get some screenshots up later.

Its still safer then IE

Nevermind, just remembered my old computer cant play DVD's

Thanks, but I am going to TRY and get my old computer working so I can install Vista right over XP since I dont use it anymore.

So if i download trial of Paragon I will be able to create a 40GB partition for example on my 80 GB drive? Or will I have to purchase the full? EDIT: i am going to try and get my old computer working again and install Vista right over XP since I dont use it anymore

Looks like a nice program if it wasnt $70

How do you create a new partion on your Hard Drive? So I don't have to wright over all my XP files?

That should solve your problem

And how would I go by installing a previous version of windows? The OS came pre-installed

So is there any way for me to use Vista and revert back to XP easily without using a secend hard drive?

Since I don't have another hard drive thats going to be bit of a problem, I think i might have to call it quits on Vista Beta

I was just reading this from InformationWeek.com: Its really going to be that hard to bring XP back if say I don't like it or say I don't want to purchase the final version after this beta expires?

Just read the manual and it turns out I CAN use the DVD R's

The drive came pre-installed in my Laptap, I am going to look in the manual too see if it says

Okay guys, sorry for this stuipid question but...Just took a look in My Computer and it says I have DVD-RAM drive, does this mean I have to use those expensive DVD-RAM disks? Or will the DVD-R's work? Thanks

Microsoft:

I am up to 60kb/s and and it continues to increase using the download manager now (Remember I only got the 768/128 KBps Verizon DSL plan), I am afraid to restart though because it might be lower, or it wont connect...I have until saturday cause thats when i will get to the electronics store and buy some DVD's. I am just going to leave the connection on all night and hope for the best.

Just downloaded a download manager and were doing a little better at 40kb/s

I am only getting 12kbps with that site

Servers are to overloaded tonight, try tommorow

Plus $4 for shipping to the US
