To reduce confusion start the install from xp so your hard drive letters will stay the same. Otherwise if it is like vista it will say its on the c drive and when your in xp it will be in a different drive.

also an easy way to partition is parted magic http://partedmagic.com/  maximum pc wrote a very nice guide on how to use this. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/how_to_repartition_your_hard_drive_for_free_without_formatting_or_losing_data

i want to try the beta really bad but i think the 2.5 GB file is about 1.5 gb over my bandwith cap. it would take days at 112kbs anyways. Im going to try and get a friend from the lower 48 to burn me a copy

I actually like most of the features they put in vista. I had vista from about 6 months after it was launched and never had any more problems with it then ive had with XP. In fact i have been having less problems with all three of my vista computers than i am having with my one XP. Once you use vista you will find that there are lots of minor tweaks that are really nice. One of my favorites is the clickable file paths so you can jump between folders easily. It also has extremely fast app load times if you have lots of ram and suferfetch on. there are lots of new apps that use areo for productivity purposes.
