While you are at it, is it normal than Longhorn, when installed onto a partition that isn't c: , puts the "newbootloader" files on c: still?

I tried to install Longhorn beta 1 several times, but when the installer was halfway thru and tried to reboot for the second, the pc just sat there will a blank screen and a blinking cursor.

The Partition i tried to install it to was on my primary IDE channel, slave drive, second partition. So it can't be the "i don't like scsi or addon IDE controllers" bug.

The strange thing is, that i was able to install beta 1 using VMware just fine, with the same DVD i used before of course.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
