Hi folks, Win Vista home premium. I am installing a legacy WD hard drive in a USB 2.0 enclosure and am unclear about how to set the jumpers. Would being on a USB connection call for the single setting, or master/slave? It is an EIDE drive. The prob I am having is that the USB driver installed ok, the drive shows up in Disk management as a healthy FAT32, with drive letter "F"

I am trying to get my MP3 player (Sansa m230) to work in vista, and I have made a lot of headway, but... When in normal use (moving music in or out, and playing) it seems to work fine. In windows explorer it shows up as drive "J". When I switch the device internally to "MSC" mode (required to update firmware) it shows up in explorer as drive "K" and I get an error message- "Exception...

Am I missing something, did I miss the boat or is MSFT missing the boat on their own product? I read news posts, blogs and just about everything I could before diving into Vista. I even built a new PC so that I could experience everything Vista had to offer. I have a Vista score of 4.6(Core 2 Duo 6600, 2GB RAM Dual 300GB SATA drives, 7900 GS video) Now don't get me wrong, I am using...

I have recently built a new PC and installed Vista Ultimate (non OEM). I think my motherboard is faulty and I need to get a replacement. Hearing all the stories about Vista's activities to prevent software piracy, will this have any consequences. Can I do it and if so, will it reduce my future options to make hardware changes. One of the reasons for building my own PC was to allow me to...

How does Vista decide which partition is made the system partition?

Hauppauge shows Vista drivers for it on their site. Anyone using it yet? Is it worth paying the extra bucks for the 500 to get 2 tuners? I have a TV in the same room already, don't really need to record 2 things at once, and will be going to DirecTV as soon as we move to a house, hopefully in the next year. Comments, suggestions? Thanks,

Hello, I tried installing VistaScan 3.75 but it doesn't see the scanner. I still have the upgrade for XP to install, but in the meantime, has anyone been successful with this scanner in Vista, and if so, how? It doesn't look like UMAX even knows Vista exists yet, so I'm guessing they aren't doing anything for Vista anytime soon. Thanks,

I have 2gb of RAM, an AMD dual-core processor at 1.8GHZ, and 256mb video card. So: which version of Vista would I be able to run? Thanks, Dave -- A hint to posters: Specific, detailed questions are more likely to be answered than questions that provide no detail about your problem.

I just thought I would post here to report that I have just had success installing and using my old Agfa SnapScan 1236 SCSI scanner on Windows Ultimate 32-bit. I will also keep a copy he http://www.sanders.demon.co.uk/VistaAgfaSnapScan.html It may be that others here can use the same technique to make their own device install properly. If you don't have the driver file for this...

Can anyone tell me what is a good amount of memory to run Vista on a laptop....I know the canned answer is the more the better, but I am curious what others have experienced as the minimum amount to get the best performance. Thanks in advance. David
