  1. thanks for replyin guys, i figured it out .. i had to unhook the other hd and install the os. apparently it was conflicting with a windows vista left over partition on the other hd.

  2. hi, this is so fustrating. i want to downgrade back to windows xp from windows vista. I have two harddrives. one is a 320gb sataII and the other is 120gb ata. When i try to install xp on the 320gb hd it keeps saying:

    "to install windows xp on the partition you selected, setup must write some startup files to the follow dick:"

    the disk it is refering to is the 120gb harddrive.

    So i follow the instructions and when the os is installed, i can never get into windows if i don't have the windows xp cd in the cd rom drive. it says "disk boot failure, instert system disk and press enter" or sometimes "missing ntrl"

    and also, my c: drive is always assigned to the harddrive where all the windows files are not locatied. in this case it is the 120gb one.

    please help. thanks.

  3. if i try to get into safe mode it says "windows cannot finish installation in safe mode" .. but its still a black screen in power save mode even if i leave it like that for 6 hours

    and how do i disable apic?

  4. I just installed rc2 (clean install) and now i can't startup. It boots but when i get to windows its just a black screen and my monitor goes into power saving mode. I'ved tried both 32bit and 64bit

    anyone else experiencing the same problem? my specs are:

    seasonic 400

    abit kn8 sli

    3800 x2

    his x1600xt

    seagate 320 sataII

    seagate 120 pata

    crucial generic 512 x2

    it was fine when i had rc1

    any help is appreciated. thank!

  5. I just installed Vista rc1. I am trying to figure out how to share files on the network. Everytime i try to access my folders from another computer it always ask for a password. How do i share with out a password?

    Thanks

  6. The main reason why i want to do this is to put some torrents onto my bt client when i am away on vacation or something. Is there a program out there that lets me control my computer remotely? I remember ABC (the bittorrent client) use to have a service to let us do specifically that, it was called "Web interface Service"

  7. Why logical over primary? what exactly is the difference between logical and primary. I googled it and i don't quite understand it. Can someone put it in plain english?

  8. Hi, i plan to format my computer again and this time i plan to split my primary partition before i format. When i go to format i want to format only the active partition with windows in it.

    I have two questions.

    This trick does work right? the partition i created in windows using magic partition 8 won't be formated along with the active partition right? I plan to backup everything on my second partition.

    When i created the second partition i had two options .. to either make it a logical partition or a primary partition. I chose primary partition. would that work?

    i plan to install windows xp pro sp2.
