ok then i think my pc just does not work with vista at all, beta 1 or the pre beta 2.

im an official tester n all, so the download is def fine.

Tried installing beta1 loads n loasd of times, usin dif. techniques

same with beta 2 but everytime it gets to is now installing and hangs, no hard drive or cpu activity, left it on for about 20 hrs and nothing. Downloading partition magic to have a look and see saying i have my hard drive partitioned, altho i have tried to install on c: and d:, both formated, from within os and from boot etc with no luck.

my pc's not too bad, amd 2200+, 512 mb ram, ati radeion 8500, 120gb hard drive, my harddrives only 5200rpm though maybe this is the problem???

First Step ( copying files and whatnot from windows XP ) - 15mins

Second Step ( rebooting and running the setup / installing ) - an hour roughly.

So around 1h15mins, give or take some.

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2.4

1 GIB of DDR400 ram

GeForce 6600GT

SB Live!

The pre-beta2 runs fast enough using normal nvidia drivers. For such an early build ( considering we're so far away from release ) it's decent and stable enough.

However, when I use the alpha LDDM drivers from nvidia ( that were made for beta 1 ) even though I get the aero glass theme, and everything looks beautiful, I notice some chopiness. But that's nvidia's fault.
