Dell E1705 BSOD on 1st boot by Tony Tait
Hi all, I'm on my second try to upgrade my xp pro install to Vista business (free from the MS 'together' promo) on my Dell Inspiron E1705. When the install gets to the (I presume) last reboot and tries to 'start for the first time' I get an immediate BSOD and reboot after the Vista load screen. The BSOD is much too fast to read the stop code as the machine reboots instantly. 'A quick flash...

Easy File Transfer doesn't transfer SideBar Gadgets? by Per Salmi
I just used the Easy File Transfer wizard to copy all settings for a single user account and then restored them on another computer. I found that all user configured SideBar Gadgets are missing and also all the user defined Quick Launch shortcuts. Is this as it should be?

Vista Ultimate Full Installation (going crazy here) by Topher
I had a similar problem. Is the HD SATA? In the RAID slot or normal SATA slot? Try plugging it in the #1 slot and not the RAID side, Make sure the computer bios detects it and I had to format the drive (500 Gig -not fun) with an XP disk and installation worked fine. PS deleting the drive during setup did not work. Only formatting the entire bloody disk worked. PPs This only occurred after I...

Cannot Install Vista on SATA Drive by [cookie]
Hi one and all, Not sure if anyone can help me with this as the problem seems widespread in various forms. My particular problem is that when I installed Vista (Home Premium) on this new build, it gets all the way to the "completing the installation" phase and then just restarts and then an error message appears when it starts back up.

Error Message: Windows installation could not continue because... by ayejay0601
Running an IBM Thinkpad T42--1GB Ram, 1.7 MHz Centrino, 80 GB HD--with 20 GB free. Getting "Windows installation could not continue because a required device driver could not be installed". This message occurs after "copying files". It occurs in the third part of the installation (cannot remember--I think it is the "expanding files" part--the part right before installing files) Any help?

BIOS Updates by Brian
I have been trying to install Vista Ultimate (64 bit version) for days. Literally. Tried swapping hardware, changing BIOS settings. Disabling everything but the minimums to run. No luck. Continued to get the BSoD with STOP error 0x0000001e. Almost giving up, I decided to flash the BIOS, and now everything is working perfectly. I strongly suggest that anyone having problems does this before trying...

We bought Windows Vista Home Premium *retail* for my machine today, and I've already ordered my 64 bit version from Microsoft, I'm guessing the new disc will be tied to this Serial Key, but can I use it for my 32 bit version in the meantime? I want to try and get this new sata drive running and feel my way around any hardware issues with vista before the 64 bit gets here, apparently it can...
