Can I run the Windows 7 beta with XP on the same hard drive? -

I really wanted to see if Windows 7 is really what everyone is hyping it up to be. So will I have to partition another section on my hard drive?

lol you don t have to reformat your whole harddrive.Try to make Partition of your harddrive.Is another way :D but if you don t know how try to learn by going to google and search on i ll give you a link to create a separate partition which you have to be very careful with it if you don t know how to resize create and such..

If you have to ask you shouldn t be running a beta. Betas (expecially beta operating systems) can cause damage - like reformatting the entire drive, for instance. The reason software is beta is that it might (and probably does) still have bugs. Always run a beta on a computer that has no needed data on it. (Betas are for beta testers - releasing a beta to the public is just a marketing scam.)

Ok, Yes it is the hype everyone is making it. You can get it on friday Janurary 9th as a public beta You will have to use a duel boot to use xp and windows 7 at the same time. or reformat your hard drive and do a clean install of windows 7. xD
