I am very anxious to start using Windows Vista. When I insert my Install DVD Disc (where I've burned the image) a message pops up saying "Setup can not run on this version of the Operating System. To install Windows please try booting from the install media." I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I then proceed to shut down my computer. When it is off, I turn it back on. The...

When 5536 was available, I used the Microsoft Download Manager & saved it to my system with the intention of burning it to a DVD later in the week. Problem is that I neglected to note where it saved itself on my system. Now thanks to my general stupidity, I know that I have the copy downloaded - I just don't have the foggiest clue where it is located or what file name to look for. That...

I do not have a DVD Burner. Is there any way to boot the RC1 Vista .iso file directly from the harddrive?

Hi all, I wish to dual-boot Vista RC1 and XP. I Currently am dual booting XP and Fedora Core 5. I wish to remove Fedora and install Vista, keeping XP intact. This is the procedure I have in mind: first use the fixmbr to get rid of GRUB use GParted to remove the Fedora partitions reboot and make sure XP still works go back to GParted and format the unused space for Vista as NTFS back in...

I tried to install to my 2nd hard disk after I got the burned image onto the DVD, it gave no errors, seemed to be just like a normal win install. About a half hour later it looked like it was finishing and then when the computer rebooted I saw the "Boot with earlier version of windows, Boot with Vista" I chose Vista and I got a task bar like XP except much smaller moving around and then...

I was just wondering what size Windows directories other people have. I noticed one poster that said she had installed Vista on an 8GB partition--my Windows directory is itself 8.12 GB, so I was wondering if there's something wrong with my install, or if she was mistaken, or what... I've already used the disk cleanup utilitiy to delete "discarded files from windows upgrade" or some such...

When you are given a choice to select the hard drive to install onto... this being a fresh install... You have the option to "Load Drivers". There seems to be a user interface problem here... if you go into it, there is no way out unless you install a driver. This is anoying if you accidentally click that button.

No problem about that... and I am sure that I have to "re"install every software I am using now in XP...?? However my question is what changes Vista do to my directories & files? F.e. I have documents & setting directories and I am afraid that...

I do not have a DVD Burner. Is there any way to boot the Vista .iso file directly from the Harddrive?

I downloaded RC1 (from http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/rc1/en/download.htm) yesterday - the resulting file size was 2,709,782,528). It burned OK, but the DVD was useless as it was missing \sources\install.wim. I went into ISO to copy the f8iles to a folder manually, but received an error on Sector #00142F50. I figured that the download must have been corrupt, so I did it again...

Im downloading an ISO file on this computer which has RC1 on it but I dont have any third party software to burn an image file. Am I ok to copy it to a 4 gig removable drive and burn it on my XP machine which has NERO 7 or would I be better off downloading software on this machine? I worry about corupting the file. I know that this may seem stupid but I was trying to keep this copy of vista clean...

I decided today to reinstall Vista 64bit, as I thought i'd played with the 32bit one enough. I should stress at this point that I have never had any problems installing the Vista Beta's, either the 64bit version or the 32bit version. I am running Win XP Pro as a primary OS and have used dual-boot with Vista before, but for some reason today, I have had no luck with the reinstall. I...
