majortom1981 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Some of us are part of technet and we have been able to get keys since wednesday . i highly suggest anybody who deals with microsoft products to get a technet membership. (us technet members arent limited to one key).

winlonghorn Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I agree with dual booting but not on the same drive. 2 separate drives is the best way since Windows 7 modifies things in the Vista install. When installing on a lone drive with no other partitions, 7 creates a separate 200MB partition for boot files, ect. What? it doesn't modify my vista install lol. ROFL. It just creates another option in the boot selection menu for 7. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/62/#findComment-590391136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatolian Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If I upgrade from Vista SP1 to Win7, some mistakes would occur? Which one would you prefer, upgrade or clean install... And why?

Eric Veteran Posted January 9, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2009 why the downloading file has a .dlm extension? Because you have to download it using the Akmai download manager.

scratch42069 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 What? it doesn't modify my vista install lol. ROFL. It just creates another option in the boot selection menu for 7. :) Then why does it make a 200MB partition on a drive with no other partitions? Why does it not do that when a Vista partition is available? I'm not trying to bash 7 or Vista or anything, I was simply pointing out something I noticed when dual-booting.

When installing on a lone drive with no other partitions, 7 creates a separate 200MB partition for boot files, ect. Hmmm...I have two HDDs, but they're set up in a RAID0 configuration... I suppose I'll just stick Windows 7 on a partition, and when its time to get rid of it, format that partition, set the Vista one as the Active one, and fix the Vista bootloader. I've done it a lot of times already messing with and changing dual-boot configs with Vista/XP or Vista/Vista. ^_^ :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/62/#findComment-590391182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
