^^this and use rearm at the end of the 90 day period (up to 3 times i think)

Thanks guys.

Got it downloading know. (You watch how i find my disc now)

Am i right in thinking that the rearm will give me an extra 30 days for each one.

Not quite. It will reset the remaining days to 30 rather than give you an extra 30 days. If you rearm with 5 days remaining you don't get 35 more days.

You can rearm 3 times for a maximum of 120 days.

Correct me if im wrong guys, but didn't think the RC had the evaluation period you needed to rearm after 30days, thats just the RTM? Afaik the RC is fully operational until March then it goes into bi-hourly shutdown's and expires completely in June?

Edit: Should have looked at the link is for the RTM eval version!

Thanks. I thought i was something like that. I'll guess i'm best to wait till it's down to 1 day to get the most time out of it.

Just a small side note the could probaly have it's own thread but i may as well carry on in here.

If i install it on my Second HDD (Vista is on my first) will the OS releaise that there is already a bootloader and put it's self on that so i don't have to select which HDD to boot first in ther bios. (Sorry if that came across wrong)

It should, but if not "EasyBCD" should fix it once you're in either OS.
