Yes, I know, but I just assumed solid_snake owns the full version. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

now just put in the dvd to install vista. select the option to download updated installation files, wait a while. then it will give you the option to update or start a new installation. since you want to install vista on a new partition, select the 2nd option (not the upgrade os option). then it will give you the option to select the partition you want to install vista on. then your good to go.
