This is taking forever to download - should be able to try it out over the weekend if the weather's bad.

One question - if I install to an IDE drive and then put it in a USB enclosure can I boot Vista with it? Ideally I'd like to be able to plug it in when I want.

Otherwise I'lll just put it on another partition - don't you just love partition magic!

if this file is so big, then what download manager should I go for, that would resume if I stop it early.

I would like it to be free too.

Think ill get myself a copy Of Partition magic, after using Kelkoo its not as expensive as i thought it would be!

well i found it impossible to boot from the dvd (everthing loads ok then when the main vista install screen comes up it stops responding) so now im doing an upgrade on a new hard drive which seems to be going ok (so far).
Im just hoping this works as im dying to try this out.

I got to it from post 6, your post about the live site with the keygen.

I take it this will give me the download manager for it?

I believe so yes :)

Re: Windows Vista Beta 2 Download Available
 

Well my download with reget just stopped at 2gig, it told me it had failed, i'm not very happy as that had taken ages to download.

Not sure if its worth trying again or not?

EDIT: It seems that MS have turned off the resume feature for this download, as it comes up with an error reporting that download resuming inst supported by thsi file, which is why my download failed :(

I iwsh the official MS link would work so i could access thier download manager...

I want to continue using Windows XP and keep all my files, but i also want to use Windows Vista, is there a way to boot both Windows XP and Windows Vista?

What steps do i take to do this?

Anyone looking for download links, go here:

Use the program Download Accelerator Plus the download will start then it will look for alternative locations for the file, i was able to download it that way, wasn't able to get it from Microsoft site.
