Windows 7

Contradiction much?

 

My thoughts exactly, If i install xp i would either have to clean install or dual boot, and since i want to dual boot seven with all my files nice and safe, i would have to dual boot xp then dual boot Seven wouldnt i?

What are the benefits of having a dual boot setup with XP/Vista/Win7 or any combination anyway?

 

A dual boot of Windows/Linux I can understand, but Windows/Windows seems pointless.

I want to try ouy Win7 without any loss of files/programs

He has vista if that helps

I said that backwards. If you install XP second, you overwrite Vista's bootloader. How the **** did I not catch that?

OK so i have vista with all my files that i do not want lost and i want to dual boot win 7 to try it out

 

Can someone just give me a step by step on what they think i should do

I got Windows 7 Beta with the key but didn't not load it onto a computer yet.

I just loaded my copy onto the parition, anyone know why i cant access all my files on the vista partition from the 7 partition

[Hans5849 0]

You need to mount the vista partition in 7.

Will Windows 7 support the upcoming DirectX11?

[BioBen 3]

Probly, if it doesn't it will be made compatible in a service pack

Here are two different guides for dual booting if anyone is still looking to do so- http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2009/01/...or_vista-2.html and http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/e...2749fe1033.mspx . Malevolence- Windows 7 will support DirectX 11. A software development kit was released back in November to developers giving them a sample of DirectX 11, and the plan is that DirectX 11 will be finished in time for the release of Windows 7.

Look at our join dates, noobicus, I was here more than a year before you.

 

Because this is going pretty of topic, I'll have to throw this in:

I hope Windows 7 is a large improvement over Vista, but it is unlikely that I will acquire it within the first year or two of its release.
