Here are my computer specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
3072 MBytes pf DDR RAM
WindowsXP SP2

The problem I am having is that I am trying to install it to my
secondary drive, which is 20gigs, It copies the files, decompresses
them, then it restarts and says "Installing Windows" and just sits
there, I let it sit for over an hour and nothing happened. So when I
restart, the boot menu gives me 2 otpions, 1) Earlier version of
Windows and 2) Windows Setup Rollback. I want to get rid of the #2
option so I checked my boot.ini and don't see it in there. So I wanted
to know two things, A) why won't Vista RC1 install and B) if I can't
install it, how do I get rid of the second boot option? TIA!!!!!!

It just sits there and restarts a few times if I choose rollback :0(
