[MERGED] Windows Vista Beta 2 Download Available

[Stuart W]

Downloading direct to my server at around 8m, will have whole ISO in about 6 mins.

Once it's there, I'll provide a link here with a 500 gig download limit

Link pending....

that link gives
"You don't have permission to access /vista_5384.4.060518-1455_winmain_beta2_x86fre_client-LB2CFRE_EN_DVD.iso on this server.


Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.36 Server at www.your-domain-here.co.uk Port 80" i like the test card tune at the main page though LOL.

[Stuart W]

Yeah, just noticed... editing now

[popper]

its alright stuart, no rush, im now busy with DVB-T encoding etc stuff so wont get around to trying today perhaps.

thanks for your efforts anyway, much appreciated.

ohh, does your server come with ftpd resume too, that might be better for some people ?,off to check me logs

[Stuart W]

Right, I had to put it as an FTP transfer, so you can either use the following details, or this link.

FTP: 195.20.108.53
UN: cableforum
PW:

There is NO password.

NOTE: That server has 100mbit of global transit, so should be good for multiple downloads.
If it gets a bit slow, I will limit to 20 or 30 connections

[Stuart W]

Yes, server should resume partial downloads

Nice one Stuart. I'm getting this now and it's maxing out my 10mb connection

[Stuart W]

That box should be capable of serving about thirty 10m connections, but it also hosts a couple of BF2 servers, so could get choppy if it's maxed out.

After i have downloaded the file, i believe i have to burn it onto a DVD disk!

Will any DVD disk do, or does it need to be specific!??

Thanks,

just a standard dvd r will be fine.It has to be burnt as a iso use nero or decrypter to burn it

Finally managed to get Vista and install it on my second HDD and its all working fine now after the initial problem of blue screen errors which was fixed by getting the ati driver for vista. Also managed to get sound, although only stereo its better than nothing!

The only problem i have at the moment is being able to dual boot vista and XP without having to swap over the cables, ive got XP on the master drive and Vista on the slave both HDD are working together in XP, but i want to be able to choose the boot up between XP and Vista when the PC is turned on, and I'm not exactly sure how to do this? Anyone know or is there any programs or instructions on how to do this?

you can edit the boot loader to all for older operating sytems let me just boot vista and ill tell you what to put
