It would be nice if the OP gave all the details.
Or, even replied!

Cheers.

You don't ask for much, do you? ;-)

Don't be so certain. I've set it up and ever since then Vista can only be
run in Safe mode. If started normally it either BSOD's and reboots after a
short time at the login screen or if you manage to get logged in, as soon as
the wallpaper loads. This is after creating a new partition on the same
drive and successfully performing a clean install of beta 7. Luckily beta 7
works great so far while I try to figure out why Vista is having fits, short
of doing a reinstall of backup (after all it's beta so I want to figure out
what happened and why. This is the official beta 7 release from the
microsoft site btw not some alternative source.

Restart repairs have no effect same as several different restore points I
have attempted.

Proceed with caution. lol
