install Beta 2 after Beta 1?

Hi,
What are the chances I will be able to install Beta 2 without
reformatting my hard drive if I install Beta 1? I like Beta 1 on my test
hard drive - but should I wait for Beta 2 on my main hard drive?

It's never easy. There are usually some upgrade instructions provided with
manual steps to clean out registry entries and resolve various other problems
- but it is a hassle. Any chance you have the Cirutal PC product? I never
put any beta stuff directly on a system anymore - only on VPCs I can blow
away with little reservation.

Oh, I know, Juan!

I'm trying so hard to use a new newsreader, but lack of spellcheck is killing
me!
I might switch back to the tried and true. I'm looking like a babbling idiot!
