dlewis23 Posted June 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 8, 2006 I am using a program called Undisker...anyone think that will work? no you cant mount it, you cant extract it, it has to boot from a dvd that was burned with the image that you download.

organ_shifter Posted June 8, 2006 CID Share Posted June 8, 2006 It'll work from DAEMON Shug. That's how I use to install the 2004 Longhorn and beta1 versions of Vista. After creating a different partition, most of the install took place right from Windows. Once the system rebooted, the install must have had all of the necessary files needed to continue on the partition already. I can't remember if it picked up right before the welcome screen or not, but it did work. It forces a dual boot with XP though. I burn the .iso to a DVD now, but before the burner, that was my only choice. I use 5384.4 as my main OS and it's great. Everything that I need for daily use works better than average. I've also attached a tweak guide for Vista. It's not my work and I forgot where I picked it up from (x64bit.net, Flexbeta, or TweakVista), but it works great when you know what you're doing.

You can order the Windows Vista Beta 2 and RC1 DVD kits from the following link. Scroll the page half way down and you'll see it. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx EDIT: Directly below the order information, you will need to follow the Download Windows Vista Beta 2 to get your key. The key you enter determines what version of Vista installs on you system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
