I am running XP on a striped RAID drive, and I had to F6 and install drivers during the install of XP. I am moving up to the 64-bit version of Vista, and trying to get prepared. Will Vista already contain the necessary RAID drivers, or will I need to create a floppy with the drivers to install via F6 again? I am using an intel D975XBX MB with a E6600 Core 2 Duo CPU.

I got this by forcing the machine to go to safe mode to start the install. Normally if I attempt an install it just freezes up right at the windows splash screen and goes all black. Stop message is 0x000000c5

I'm a totally blind user and am considering switching to windows vista. Is there a way to install vista without sighted assistants like on the Mac? I know your able to use voice over to do it with apple but wasn't sure if you could use narrator or something similar when installing vista. Really think there should be some sort of talking installation. Thanks, Mike -- Mike aim screen...

I know that this sounds a bit silly, mostly embarassing because I am quite savy with computers. I booted up my machine today and there was all of a sudden no recycling bin on the desktop. Where did it go? How can I locate things I delete now? Any help would be appreciated.

I have an IBM TP A31p & install & everything else runs ok! Is there any email support options with RC1? Thanks for any help!

Hi, I have XP prof Sp2, 2 gyg RAM + Amd Athlon 64, recent machine, so good hardware. The upgrade analyser says that nothing would stop the upgrade, except for SQL Server 2005. In addition, to be sure, I've uninstalled AMD and chipset specific drivers to allow SETUP to leave the default or upgrade.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get the mini-setup to prompt to join a domain? We've not been able to figure out how to modify the sysprep unattend file so we can specify the domain to join during setup. With XP's sysprep this was not a problem. We need to be able to choose a domain to join before we login to the desktop. Jeff Gander

I started with an SATA drive that was running my XP system. I added an IDE drive to try out Vista, set it up as a dual boot, worked fine. Now I would like to just run Vista, everything I need to run works on Vista so I'm good to go. At the same time I'd like to move it to a SATA drive (either the one running XP currently in the machine, or a new one). I'd prefer to not reload Vista. I...

Hi there, I've recently installed a clean version of Vista Ultimate RC1 on my computer. Firstly it seems to be a great piece of kit although because I only managed to receive the Build 5600 version on DVD before Microsoft brought the "free versions for the masses" gate crashing down. I've not been able to run such trusted applications as Norton Internet Security etc (wrong version of Vista...

I took the compatibility program it said I was good to go. Loaded Vista so many times I can't count. Every time I get to "loading windows for the first time" it shuts down and takes it all back.

Is there consolidated list to tell me which components or even peices of MS software would not be supported and would not work in VIsta. Some examples would be MSDE, Visual STudio 2003, VS2002... etc

Well this is an odd one, and nobody from my supplier or Microsoft on the phone is able to help so far. Just before christmas, I bought components to build an entire new PC, including mobo, cpu, memory, graphics card etc etc, and I also a copy of Win XP Pro with the Vista Upgrade Option. I built the system over christmas, installed the software and everything is fine.

I'm trying to deploy a Custom.wim image to a new hard disk containing no partitions.
