Hi. If I connect my WD Passport 160GB formated with NTFS filesystem it shows as RAW in vista, and it tells me to format it. Works in XP but Vista wont accept the NTFS format it seems. Works perfect with Fat32, but then I'll have to have 5 partitions of 30GB and that isnt really an option. Any Ideas?

I upgrade my notebook to Vista and the video drive automatic installed by Vista is RADEON XPRESS 200M (WDDM), version 7.14.10.8333.

Hi, I was trying to install a router and connect to broadband but after speaking to a help desk they said Vista couldn't see the modem. We Ping'd it and it did not see it. They asked if I'd done all the Microsoft Vista updates which I have (although I've just read about SP1) and haven't got that yet - hopefully when its pushed out it will update. Any ideas please?

If I'm in a video demanding environment (counter strike) my mouse hangs, locks or pauses. If I move my mouse fast it also locks up from time to time. Sometimes it locks up for like 5 seconds or so. When it locks up I can hear the system shut the port on and off because I hear the ding. It also happens frequently when I pick up the mouse to move it. I have quad 2.4 intel. 4gb ram
