Hi,

I've downloaded a beta version of windows vista - I'd like some tips on installing it - I'd like to keep my windows xp install intact have the choice of running both - I've heard it's possible to set your system to dual boot either from xp or vista - I have two 80gb disks my drive e: - has about 40gb free.
