Installing Windows Vista Beta 2 on a MacBook Pro
Published June 8th, 2006 in Apple, Microsoft, Noteworthy, Software, Technology
Microsoft has announced that Windows Vista Beta 2 is available for the public to download and test. The traffic was so overwhelming that Microsoft closed the download. It was only available for a number of hours. Hans Verbeeck managed to download his copy and he went to install it onto a MacBook Pro.
So how did he do? Well he succeded. At first he downloaded the x64 version of Vista, but then later realised this at an error screen. So he downloaded the right copy and things started to go smoothly. He installed Vista but an error screen came up saying that Vista had not installed correctly. However he said that this was not a problem and you just need to return to the install screen and us the ‘Repair’ link on the bottom left hand corner. That was the end, and he started to mess with the settings to get Vista looking good. Note: To get the Vista DVD working he had to go through a number of steps, which can be found on his blog.














I just love these photo screenshots (it’s the only option in this case of course, I guess). Do you think there’s some separate Flickr group for them maybe
probably, just look for it under the tags section in flickr!
