All you have to do is burn it to a DVD as an Image file, or Mount it to a virtual Disk Drive.

I am mounting it to Daemon Tools.

The main site is http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd353205.aspx# you won't be able to get a serial until they re-open it again, but that should be soon (hopefully)

I am 30% done now {Smile} 70% left Woo!

Then I can try out Windows 7 Beta! {Grin}

The only thing stopping me is when you get to the end of the trial - if i want to uninstall going through all the hassle of re-installing XP {Unsure}

It should not install over your current OS.

Once you get a free key directly from Microsoft your home free {Smile}

I cant wait to try this on my PC - wont risk installling it on the notebook with vista. On PC I got XP and a lot of free HD space.

It installs over your Current OS. It almost installed over Vista D: but I quit it quickly.

I even tried it under a Virtual Machine, and that did not work, It says that the Boot manager is missing {Tongue Out} and it wont go to any install area at all.
