As I was trouble shoot Windows Vista Beta 2, I came up against a problem I am unable to solve at the moment. I noticed that Windows Vista Beta 2 can only be installed through the CD Rom. I loaded this Windows interface, but ran into some problems, so I decided it would be better to reinstall than face all these error messages. I tried to save my documents rather that attempt a clear install.
Lord help me! For some reason I am not able to access my CD Rom. Is there any other way to format and begin over without going through the CD Rom? I tried my Windows Xp Professional Diskettes, but this didn't work out.
Please help!

It's a DVD not a CD-ROM. Make sure your DVD is the first boot device in your BIOS, boot from it, and you will have the option for format or re-partition and format your drive. -- Michael Cecil http://home.comcast.net/~macecil/ http://home.comcast.net/~safehex/

How does one reinstall Windows Vista Beta 2, when you don't have any access to the CD Rom, or DVD?
