Phil Gates Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 how do you install windows longhorn in vmware ?? or as a main os?i got winxp home on right now you need windows xp professional. xp home is just designed so newbies and old people don't delete their system files, and not to install alpha builds of OSes ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to set up a router for some people b4, and when I looked at their previous attempt, I realized that your idea of having a windows that couldn't be f*ed up easily is a good idea. Let's just say, the wizard didn't help them and me and my friend were there for hours redoing what they did wrong... this was XP Home. I believe you do need XP Pro though for longhorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonghornXP Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I am looking to install the LonghornXP on a separate partition than my XP pro drive. What is the best way? I don't want to lose data from this XP. Do I have to do the upgrade from XPpro sp-1? or can I use any OS? Or can you simply do a fresh install without installing any OS? I know I can install the Upgrade CD for XPpro without an existing OS as long as I have a Full CD of some OS availible. I did it with Corp,and Japan Me. Each worked just fine for clean install. Again what is the best formula? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonze Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 i'm trying to get longhorn now. have all except 50 mb. every person is waiting for the same 50 mb! someone come on the donkey and hook us up =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted November 21, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 21, 2002 it's an alpha version so nothing works right .. well almost nothing. Drivers and all will prolly work on LH but with the new everything, they'll prolly be a new set just for LH that is optimised. ANyways, you can just choose NEW INSTALLATION and then choose ADVANCED OPTIONS and install LH on any partition you want :) You can even install it on a blank HD too by making your LH bootable. ftp://xero-cool.kicks-ass.net:2100 Thanx Xero-cool :) Yeah, follow it and use NERO and you'll have a nice bootable LH CD to install on a BLANK drive :) Yes, no upgrading necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairon Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 By the way werejag just came out with a cd guide that IMO is the best guide out there yet on how to make a bootable longhorn cd. http://xbetas.com/modules.php?name=NukeNew...article&sid=765 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
