Thanks Gary.

Do I not have to do anything with a boot.ini file?  I seem to recall
something about that with Windows 2000.  As for the ISO file I have already
burned it to DVD using Nero.  Is that going to be a problem?

Regarding the download link, do you mean I'm not that special afterall?  My
Mom always told me I was special. <G>

Boot into XP, and format the old Vista partition.
If you don't have a DVD burner, you can mount the downloaded
ISO file in a virtual DVD drive, such as Daemon Tools.
The new Vista install will begin automatically, just tell it to
install to the second partition.
If anyone else is interested you can download the pre-RC1
build of Vista here:
