Popky Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Make a back up before installing Vista over Xp, or you will regret it. Vista beta2 still does very odd things at times, don't be a fool just because it's new and shiney!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrobbin Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 will 20 GB be ok?!?? Iam not planning on doing anything big with it.. just see whats it about. That's exactly what I'm hoping to do. I only have 30gb left on my main machine and would really prefer to keep at least 20gb of it free. --Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
