Thanks, that is what I thought, just wasn't sure. I'll do it on the 30th.

But if you are going to do that, might as well get the regular release CD,
rather than the RTM.

Erm...you do back up important data? Hard drives fail without notice.

Usually you get a bit of warning they're about to go but you're right -Erm...you do back up important data? Hard drives fail without notice.
people should back up.

Backup your email, if that is all that is important. It is very easy.
Outlook uses a folder called a .pst to store email find it and save it or
export it using outlook. If you use outlook express you are out of luck I
think, I have not tried windows mail yet.

Depends how desperate you are, but you can download a copy of KnoppixStinger said:My 30 day trial is up and I am unable to use Vista RTM, so backing up
the emiail is out of the question. I bought an OEM copy of Vista this
morning from Newegg.com. I suppose it won't ship till the 30th but
them I will prolly do a fresh install. I thought I could just get it
activated online, but am afraid it's too late for it.
from http://www.knoppix.org/, burn it onto a cd and boot from the CD,
then find the outlook.pst file from your hard drive (Knoppix has
ntfs-3g so can read and write ntfs partitions) and save it onto a usb
memory stick.

There is no such file in Vista. Vista has Microsoft Mail, NOT Outlook
Express, so no such .pst file. I have Knoppix.

..pst is for Outlook, not Outlook Express. Outlook Express has .dbx
files. Are you saying that Windows Mail doesn't have a way to back up or
is it that you just don't know how to do it? And, if the latter, what in
the world are you doing being a beta tester if you don't know that and
the difference between Outlook and Outlook Express' message stores?

Outlook can create PST files, not just Outlook Express.

Correction: Outlook Express *cannot* create .pst files. It creates .dbx
files.

Yes, I caught that from your first post. My mistake.
