Re: Vista Installation

Hi,

1) Disable BIOS antivirus detection schemes. Also uninstall or disable any
OS-level antivirus products.

2) You may need to update the machine's BIOS.

Be aware that RC1 is a not-ready-for-prime-time release, and as such you
should backup any data you do not wish to lose to removable media and be
prepared to format the system in order to go back to an older OS. Even if
upgrading, there is no option to later uninstall, this is a one-way ride.
