I set up an Autounattend.xml file and saved it to my flash drive and ran the Vista dvd at boot up and the install went fine. However when I get to the login screen and try to login it says the Administrator account is disabled. I set up the option to set an Administrator password. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

32bit Vista RC2 only sees 3 of 4GB memory installed on my Intel D975XBX mainboard. Vista RC2 x64 sees all 4GB, so this seems not to be a mainboard problem. The boad documentation says it supports memory remapping, there is no bios setting to turn it on or off. Will this be fixed with the final Version?

On a Dell 700M Laptop 2.1Ghz Pentium, 2 Gb RAM, 30 Gb available disk space, Intel Graphics chipset, I got the black screen of death after all the basic files were copied.

Recentely I heard from the "new recovery console": WinRE, that is based on WinPE. I noticed you can start it from the Windows Vista DVD but on a Technet briefing I saw WinRE installed on a seperate partition on the HD. Now I'm wondering how I can install WinRE on my HD? Thanks for any response, R.Demandt

I've been trying without success for some time now to get Vista Ultimate RTM to install on a stand-alone second hard drive in my system (see the recent thread, "Can't get Vista to boot"). I'm attempting a clean install, booting from the installation DVD, not an upgrade from inside Window. As I'm running out of ideas why it's not booting, I'm considering the option of installing Vista onto...

Will the Vista installer continue with the installation if only an 18.5GB partition is present? Has anybody managed to install Vista on a partition smaller than 20GB? 'Cause the minimal requirements say 40GB free space for the installation, that's ridiculous. Will Vista refuse even to attempt to install just because I have 1Gb less than required?

Hi, I am trying to upgrade an XP MCE machine to Vista Ultimate. The XP part of the install goes okay. However, when the machine reboots, it goes into BSOD. The message is very generic, and the error code is: STOP: 0x0000 007B (0x87405BA0, 0xC0000034, 0x0, 0x0) If I try to do a clean install of Vista (i.e no upgrade) that works.

I then added a...

Whenever I try to intall Vista Business Edition, it starts to load the file off the CD, after it's done doing that it goes right to a blue screen of death. Shows some error message dealing with acpi.sys Anybody know what acpi.sys is? I'm thinking it's something video card related. I'm using a nVidia 6800 GT Video card. Thanks
