O Wise Ones…
I “unwisely†installed Vista Beta 2 on my home XP pc without backing up anything and am way “up†the proverbial river, sans paddle!
Searching for help online I came across your Ramblings of a Computer Guru “So You Overwrote…†article. Hope was reborn but I’m at the end of my wits (not a far trip!) and need clarification on some of your steps.
Please take pity …
I’ve copied the 6 files you noted over to the “Windows.old†folder.
§ When you write “burn Vista to a DVD†- exactly which part of Vista needs to be burned?
§ I found your VistaBootPRO file and am able to download that – would it help me?
§ Microsoft mailed me the Vista dvd (Beta 2 x86 English, 0406 Part #X1-71068-02 Bootable) - can I use it?
You’ll see I’m “challenged†in these areas and will happily rise up and call you “blessed†– if you can only share just a little more knowledge.
Many thanks in advance,
In all seriousness – “SAVE ME!!!!!â€
