TheTerrorist_75 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I signed up over a month ago. Do not close any windows until everything is completed. After signing up leave the main window open and open your email account in a new window to complete the steps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Why not use a separate hard drive. With my setup I use a custom boot floppy to boot into my XP drive instead of 98SE that way the boot.ini isn't altered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JSKY Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Myself, I use a spare 40G HDD and just swap the cable around. That way I'm sure not to interfere with my drive with XP on it. But there are other ways such as naraku9333 and TT stated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shanenin Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) is the powershell(monad) going to still be included with the first releases of vista? Edited May 14, 2006 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks for the link and heads up. I guess it is time I started to learn the next os.Well, I do not seem to be spending much time playing with Fedora linux any more so I signed up. If / when they offer the download I guess I will wipe that drive (dual boot with win98) and install it there; or maybe I'll put another drive in this machine. I got a 120 and 160GB lying around which have never been used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
