I'm afraid you'll have to do a clean install. You can't downgrade from Ultimate (your RC1) to Home. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail. |

| | Re: XP RC1 DUAL BOOT Please, no need for caps. Use the Windows Easy Transfer wizard to save your files and settings. After you purchase your full edition of Vista Home (Basic or Premium) do a custom installation. Then restore your files and settings with the WET wizard and reinstall your apps.
