750787	2009-02-24 01:38:00	do you have to do it off the dvd ?	GameJunkie (72)
750788	2009-02-24 02:32:00	do you have to do it off the dvd ? Yes	JJJJJ (528)
750789	2009-02-24 02:35:00	There was an option for ISO. I had already mounted the ISO I used though, so no point in testing it out. :p	wratterus (105)
750790	2009-02-24 02:52:00	thought i could use it off my usb, but using the dvd now	GameJunkie (72)
750791	2009-02-24 04:26:00	I just installed Win7 Beta into Virtualbox, no hassles whatsoever. Mine installed, fine, too, but I would like to know how to get the W7 install to use a USB drive. Did you get it to see the USB port?	linw (53)
750792	2009-02-24 04:34:00	You'd probably have to modify some set up files to get it to work... Or maybe install W7 in a VM, mount it to the host OS, then image it to an external? Or get the hard drive out of the USB case, then slave and install?	Blam (54)
750793	2009-02-24 04:42:00	Have it running in VB nicely but cannot access any external devices in Win 7 and had it on my network the first day now can't get it back on despite being on the same workgroup	gary67 (56)
750794	2009-02-24 20:18:00	I understood that this Beta had to be installed on an existing Vista.Is that not the case? No it is not. Just a Myth. What Neil may be referring to is the fact you can't do an over-the-top upgrade from XP to Windows 7. You need to do a fresh install. Upgrades can be done from Vista to 7.	autechre (266)
750795	2009-02-24 21:30:00	Yes-vista is similar enough to W7 so you can just upgrade, but not the case for XP. There was a rumour going around a while ago that the W7 beta was an upgrade from vista only....I was reffereing to that	Blam (54)
