would it be possible to create a new partiton on my hd, install vista beta onto that when when i decide to get rid of it just format that partition? thanks
Yeah, it would be fine, I would like to do this with Linux, haven't got round to it yet. How big is your HDD, maybe we can give you some guidelines on how to partition it (size wise)..
Nope, you cant use the trial, but there are other way to get it , not so sure about the other questions, but if I had to take a guess, I would say yes..
