WelshBluebird Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 You people who have download managers downloading it... Care to share the direct link for the rest of us so that we can queue it in our DL managers? That would be very sweet of you. :wub: dunno if this will work, as I gave the link to a friend, and he said it wouldn't work, but it's working for me.

WelshBluebird Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 zacly what i was thinkin thanks 4 that but im sure by the time i reply your link will be removed because its a violation I don't see why it should be removed, because the link is posted in the news section link. Infact, I'm sure direct links have been posted either in this thread or in the vista beta section. There were ven links to torrent sites with it one (which I'm not sure are still there). edit - Mojo - I'm using "Internet Download Manager" which you do have to pay for, but I'm using the 30 day free trial, just to download Vista.

mus Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Is is worth testing? I've been waiting for Vista for a while. As a beta tester how do you get the information back to MS? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catharsis Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) Stink it all. My home server's VNC stopped working. I was just going to have my home machine DL it while at work. I guess that's what I get for freeware. Grrrr...... Edited June 8, 2006 by Catharsis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning speed won't alter/affect the data being burnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin- Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Stink it all. My home server's VNC stopped working. I was just going to have my home machine DL it while at work. I guess that's what I get for freeware. Grrrr...... Haha, I was thinking about that yesterday ... but it wasn't released until after I got home, so it was all good. :) I'd be using RDC though, and not VNC though. I've always burning ISOs, MP3s, videos etc. at maximum speed and never had any problems. Burning speed won't alter/affect the data being burnt. In very rare cases, some burnt CD's can't be read if they're burnt a lot faster than another CD-ROM can handle. I've only saw that occur a time or two though. However, burning and reading from the same drive should work fine -- if your DVD burner is good. I also had a bad one for a while and it would never burn / read DVD's. I've since got a nice burner and like it lots. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acies Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 do i need some special software to choose os when dual booting on a single drive?? or will it just add windows vista to the bios startup thing. 5 mins to go :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I've always burning ISOs, MP3s, videos etc. at maximum speed and never had any problems. Burning speed won't alter/affect the data being burnt. Depends on the quality of the hardware you're using. On one PC I burn at 1x on my RW discs otherwise it won't read it. Putting it in a better burner and doing a full erase fixes it everytime.

Catharsis Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I burn at whatever half of my maximum burn speed is for CDs. However, for DVDs, I'm pretty sure it's usually safe to do it at full speed. The speed of your hard drive and RAM has much to do with it as well, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrobbin Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm confused. All my ISO contains when i look inside of it is a readme.txt file. What do I use to use this thing? --Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randolph Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm confused. All my ISO contains when i look inside of it is a readme.txt file. What do I use to use this thing? --Alex The ISO contains a UDF file system which can be only viewed with a UDF reader (ISO Buster, etc). You need a DVD burner to burn this ISO. Or you can mount it via a "virtual drive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
