Hi folks,
For those of us fortunate enough to have d/led the iso file, but not so fortunate as to have a (2 layer for x64) DVD burner:
Could you please explain how to "burn" the iso to a HD or partition?
Also, as I have a x64 computer with 32bit XP Media Center, is it possibe to "boot" from the "burned" HD or partition, so as to create an XP32/Vista dual-boot system? (I've read it's not possible to install Viata x64 from XP32)
Hope this is clear....
Thanks, JR

"Burn" iso file to HD or partition
You can't burn an ISO to a partition, you can extract the contents of the ISO to a folder on your drive, but you have Vista x64 so that would not be possible.
The x64 ISO can be burnt a standard DVD 9 disk, no dual layer disk required. Burning the ISO Image in NERO and Roxio Easy CD Creator: NERO Insert a Blank DVD, open Nero StartSmart > change the media type to DVD > select Copy and Backup > click "Burn Image to Disc" > navigate to where the Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored on your hard disk, (note: if you don't see it, make sure the image file type is changed to ISO" click Open and the burning wizard will automatically start.
Roxio Open Creator Classic > click File > "Record Disc from Image" > navigate to where the Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored >click Open and the burning wizard will automatically start.
Ensure that the ISO burns at a low speed, recommended speed, 2x for best results. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
