Hi:
Well since my pc does not allow 2.8 to install I am using 2.9 beta for a while now and the only downfall or negativity about it is the damn slowness of reverting snapshots:( I remeber with 2.8 snaphsot reverting was fast but 2.9 is lengthy (takes a long time to revert back to a good snapshot). I hope when the new CTM comes out soon that this issue is fixed.
Same here on XP SP3 32 Bits.
Stable version cannot be installed. The error is Operating System cannot be read.
Beta version has no probs installing but as you mentioned its slow.
Previously I was able to install stable version but now I cant, dont know why.
Tried formatting & installing XP again but same error.
