RC1 was unstable on my machine so i deleted that partition. Problem is now..i can't get rid of boot manager in vista to go back to xp's boot. anyone know how to get rid of the boot manager after a partion deletion?

Slap in an XP CD, boot to recovery mode. Type in fixmbr, and say yes to all of MS' not responsible messages, and presto... :o

Wish i could get vista to install on my pc :(

Anyway, i'm happy again because i'm going to ready for a new day an BILL GATES will be coming toooooooooooooooooo...!!!! So excited (sorry, but when you are 14 years old and you will see bill gates in real-life you can get excited!)

that doesn't work. I tried that already. also there is a exe file on vista that is supposed to work, but i think vista is still supposed to be installed if you use that. I guess i have to reformat this to get the mbr back the way it was. any other suggestions?

Nope... the solution documented by Microsoft using the Vista repair console on the disc, can be performed from XP or Vista

Where are the screenies kids? It takes a while to get through to the download section on connect, try the link below if you're on the beta. I'm maxing out my connection off the North American server.

OK got it running. Phew, 2 hours to in-place from previous build...

They changed the desktop to say "RC2".

No screenshots, sorry. But runs fine on my Dell Optiplex 270. Dual monitors on GeForce FX5500.

Usually I would get a lot more HD activity after install, but not with this build... so I guess that's good...

Nothing else much that I can see. Kind of uneventful I guess. Where are the days when things were broken after installs? :cool:

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
