^^Yep. One of my test system here at home... had XP on one drive before I loaded this release of Vista on the other drive. Dual-booting works fine.

bro how did you manage to install Vista in the other drive?...coz you'll not be prompted of any option other than doing clean install on top of XP OS [the old XP files will be put in a folder called windows.old]

or did you installed XP on top of Vista?

^^Looks like yer running the Vista installation under XP. In my case, I burned the downloaded image onto a DVD... then booted from it. Once the Setup wizard kicked in, it was pretty much a walk in the park. It surely asked me which drive I would like to load Vista on.

Also, yeah... XP was loaded on my test machine first before I put Vista on it.

naka DL hinuon ko sa ilang beta sa una... di ba pwede ms update nlng nya mhimo na nga RC1 imong vista?

[obemon]

^^Nope. You can't just install minor updates from Windows Update to make your Beta2 Vista to pre-RC1. You still have to download the full ISO image. Once you have it downloaded, and yer feeling lazy... you can do an upgrade installation from Beta2 to this Pre-RC1 release.
