I built a new system and it seems to be running well. I allowed Windows Update to download new SATA/RAID drivers after initial Vista installation when it was going through all the Hotfixes and Window updates. Now, Vista attempts to reinstall the Nvidia device drivers for the SATA and RAID Controllers after every reboot. The RAID install finishes and asks to reboot now or later. The SATA...

I am using Vista Home Premium and copying some files to a USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I get this message "are you sure you want to copy this folder without its properties".
