:huh: I have had Vista(beta 2, RC1, RC2) on a dualboot, using a second harddrive.This has now become nearly used up. Has anyone deleleted the windows.old files that Vista leaves behind, at every beta change?.I am led to believe that these files can be deleted, but i am reluctant to do so , incase it disrupts the current Vista model. :huh:

It's not supposed to affect your Vista installation (they're just the old folders that have been renamed.

Personally, I format my hard drive and reinstall each build of Vista that I use.
