Hi,
I am having installation problems of MS Vista Beta 2 downloaded from Microsoft MSDN.
-Windows Vista Beta 2 (x86) - DVD (English)
I had a dual boot of Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista Beta1 (starts up first)
System specification are:
Compaq Deskpro EN Series, Intell Pentium II, 349MHz, 256MB Ram, 9GB disk space.
Tried several times...
1) Installation from a PC with Windows XP SP2 on it
See attached error message.
2) Installing Vista from a Bootable DVD
I get the Blue screen of death message saying….
"

0x000000A5 (0x00000002, 0x805DF7A0, 0X8232F008, 0X806D7A28)"
Did anyone come across these problems when installing Beta 2?
Next thing I did was formatted c:\ using Windows XP SP2 to remove Vista Beta 1 and installed Windows XP SP2. I get the same error message as before, when I click the Install Now button.
Any suggestion as to what I should do? Can I still keep the other half of my previously installed Windows XP SP2 and install Windows Vista Beta 2 on top of the newly installed Windows XP SP2 as an upgrade?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Ray
