I installed WIndows Vista beta 2 on partition D: so as not to cause any
conflicts
between hardware drivers and software. I created a separate folder called
D:\programs Vista for all of the Windows Vista applications and hardware so
that I can be sure that the right application uninstalled under Windows Vista
and not my Windows XP applications since I am running both Winows XP and Vista.
Microsoft recomends that you install Windows Vista on either a separate
partition or drive and it requires 15GB of free space for the install of which
I did not have on the C:\ partition but I perfered to install Vista on
partition D: anyway.

Agree with most of what you said, however, I didn't understand the reference
to the Windows.old. As I understand it the windows.old is for taking an
existing installation and protecting it.
Did you not put the beta on a new partition? If so, that would be too risky
for me to try. In fact I'm so paranoid, I put it on it's own drive <g>!
