    A year or so ago, i installed a beta version of Vista, then later purchased a legal version, and have been ignoring the dual boot to the old system. I would like to uninstall that old beta version.

    How do i go about this? I cannot find a way to do it through control panel or find an uninstall file of the beta version.

    Suggestions?

    2nd question - i would like to install the beta of windows 7. Can it dual boot with my current (goodz) vista 64 bit operating system?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi dakine. If you have 2 versions of Vista installed do you have 2 windows folders when you open up my computer? If you do then delete the windows folder of the beta version of vista from your C drive. If you want to get rid of the dual boot menu that shows up when you startup your computer then read this, http://www.jimmah.com/vista/content.aspx?id=15. :)

    How did your install of Windows 7 go? Mine went like clockwork and am now dual booting with Vista Business on my Vista box.
