amatoof Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I have a question about the Windows Vista Beta 1 Install.. Would I have to just install it over Windows XP or would I have to make another partition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User6060 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I think you need to do a clean install so another partition would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted August 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 13, 2005 You don't need a seperate partition, but you'll lose your currently installed version of Windows + the \Program Files and \Documents and Settings folders... Unless you are running Longhorn, you can't upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amatoof Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 Gotcha, any idea how many gbs the install is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted August 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 13, 2005 3.4 GB just for Vista - and no, I'm not kidding: I'm not booted into it, so no fancy pics :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 You'll actually need I believe an 8GB partition/disk to install onto or it'll complain even though the full install may only take up 3GBs or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
