I went ahead and created the DVD and then upgraded within XP to Vista Beta 2. When I boot it asks whether to load to microsoft windows or an earlier version of windows. If I click earlier, It just goes blank and does not load into XP. I want to take Vista off, however it seems now that my XP is now corrupt. Any advice on how to go back to XP without having to clean install?
BTW Vista has a lot of kinks to be worked out and is slow on a T40 with 512 of ram and a 60gig 5400 rpm hd.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Upgraded to Vista Beta...can't dual boot into XP
There is a program called Vista Boot Pro (its free). It lets you configure all of the settings for the boot menu, and if you no longer want Vista, to take it off the list. You can also use it to revert back to the earlier boot menu (which will also remove access to Vista. Google it.jongordo8 wrote:I went ahead and created the DVD and then upgraded within XP to Vista Beta 2. When I boot it asks whether to load to microsoft windows or an earlier version of windows.
