windows vista beta 2 queries

Is it possible to dual boot between Windows Vista Beta 2 and Windows XP professional using NTFS file system or do both partitions need to be FAT32 formatted? Alternatively, would it be recommended to use a separate hard disk for both client operating systems?
What version of Windows Vista is reflected by the beta 2 i.e. is it the Ultimate edition, Business, Enterprise or Home. Would 512 MB of RAM be sufficent to run the beta software. Is it possible to install the Beta 2 software on a external USB hard drive.
I would appreciate if anybody out there can answer these queries as I intend installing this beta software soon.
Thanks,
Martin

All of your queries have already been discussed, rediscussed, and then the rediscussions have been discussed. Try searching this forum using key words like "partition" "FAT32" and "Version" (separately, of course) and see what you can discover.
