Uninstall Vista Beta 2
I installed Vista Beta 2 on a secondary hard drive 4 days ago and have been playing with it since then. Nice eyecandy but most of the drivers won't work with my setup,ie: HP 7600 printer,Creative X-FI & I couldn't get either antivir program they offered for free download to work correctly. I know this is just a beta but I think I will wait until the final release too use it on a regular basis. My question is I am dual booting with XP Home,how do I safely remove,uninstall Vista correctly. I guess I could just unplug my 2nd hard drive & try a fixboot,fixmbr from the recovery console. If anyone with more experience with this proceedure could offer guideance I would appreciate it.
Thanks |

I think that is the only way to do it...Personally I would leave it on there as there are more fixes for it comming...
Avast anti-virus works... I have it installed on my copy of Vista...some drivers will work but you need to disable driver signing or find a beta driver....

MaxRat,
Thanks for the headsup on Avast,installed & it worked! Now if anyone has a soulition on the X-Fi drivers I would really appreiciate it. I can use the onboard sound,but what is the sence of having a high dollar sound card if you can't use it. Surely someone has figured out a work around. |
