DomZ Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Every time you refresh you gotta paste it into the address bar because it redirects? Also win 7 install can't format a partition that is unformatted. Pain in the ass I had to boot back into ubuntu and format it first.

chuvak317 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 how are you refreshing? just putting the link in again after it redirects you or are you on some other page?? The page wasn't redirecting me. I kept getting the error saying to try back the next business day or the search page saying that the page could not be found. I was using firefox. I've since tried in IE7 and it redirects and I've tried it on my work computer in Firefox and it also redirects. Guess I was just lucky.

Jbman Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm downloading the ISO right now but its very slow (110k/sec). Perhaps because I'm on wireless. People should seed their build on torrent if they were successful. PS. I'm downloading the 64 bit version Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/78/#findComment-590392692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomZ Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Whenever I go to:https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pr...us/default.aspx it always redirects me to the Windows 7 homepage. :-/ The page wasn't redirecting me. I kept getting the error saying to try back the next business day or the search page saying that the page could not be found. I was using firefox. I've since tried in IE7 and it redirects and I've tried it on my work computer in Firefox and it also redirects. Guess I was just lucky. I guess you managed to fill in the form from the technet site earlier, and got the email. That site I'm guessing recognizes your passport account is registered and so (trys) to redirect you to the key place rather than the win 7 site Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/78/#findComment-590392698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdood Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If it redirects to the main page, it's because you're either not logged in (log in somewhere else first), or because you didn't register your Windows Live ID when the form was up earlier.

primexx Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 ^ so MS royally screwed us over on this by posting the form before it was supposed to be and not anticipating heavy traffic.
