there is nothing new, vista sp1 beta and xp sp3 beta both are leaked on pirated communities. nothing can be hidden from them . i have got copies of both sp3 and vista sp1 beta.

5.5 for HDD 8 MB cache HDD. specs are shown in my sig. ( gfxcard is only overclocked when i am playing too heavy games, score was taken whn gfxcard was on stock settings ) AMIT

i m confused with both of these! is there any particular diff. between vista WAIK and vista OPK? i have both on my PC. same setup screen for both. only few MBs size diff. is there any features diff. between OPK and WAIK? Regards AMIT

tht would be nice, i m getting rating score as shown in ss below. poor HDD . you can see my current config in my signature.

you neither get more performance nor loose it compared to xp and vista 32 bit editions. because all games are 32 bit , and they have nothing to do with 64bit OS. my advice to you to go with x64 . 5-6 fps diff. over 60 FPS is negotiable. however x64 os will eat more RAM than 32 bit here is my screenshot of current x64 system see memory usage at multimeter on sidebar.( 1136/2048 MB, with 2 apps running only)

yes, you can. if u r gonna play newer games ( made after 2004 ) it will 99% work! i have lotta games and they all working fine on x64 edition. few games are like counter strike counter strike : condition zero counter strike : source Half life 2 Half life : lost coast Half life : Death Match Garry's mod Medieval 2 : Total war Warhammer 40000 series Chronicles of Riddick Company Of Heroes DiRT NFS mostwanted NFS carbon NFS UG NFS UG: 2 DeltaForce : BlackHawkDown & Team Sabre Prince Of Persia : Warrior Within Prince Of Persia : The Two Thrones Mafia GTA : Vice City GTA: San Andreas GTA 3 FEAR FEAR : Extraction Point Far Cry Driver : Parallel Lines Age Of Empires 3 & expansion Rainbow Six : Vegas Ghost Recon : Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2 BattleField 2 BattleField 2142 Call Of Duty 2 Cricket 2007 All Gamehouse games ( lol ) Halo Infernal STALKER TestDrive Unlimited TOCA : RaceDriver 3 WTCC Tomb Rider : Anniversory Unreal Tournament 2004 Quake 3 Quake 4 Warcraft 3 & expansions World of warcraft world of warcraft : burning crusade above games are tested by me on my x64 vista ultimate, and all works fine without any problem. Regards AMIT

Yes, it is quietboot.

try this takeown /F "your file or directory location (without quotes)" /R /A then type icacls "your file or directory location (without quotes)" /T /grant Administrators:(D,WDAC) if u r login as diff user. then change username instead of administrators. i was also facing this problem with mounted install.wim folder. i had mounted install.wim file and then forgot to unmount it. then i couldnt delete tht folder. i tried a lot, also tried as u told with by searching google. but no luck. then i played with icacls for a while and got it deleted . Regards AMIT

i got another problem, in vistax64, to replace bootskin with custom one is the same procedure as in vistax32. i mean replacing system32\en-us\winload.exe.mui and it works fine. but my problem is, that i have replace winload.exe.mui in install.wim and repacked it ( i have assured replacement by remounting install.wim and checked whether it is replaced or not ) but after installation of vista, vista replaces that file with same default one. let me explain, the default vista winload.exe.mui file size is 25 KB , now i have replaced this file in install.wim with my custom bootskin which is 4 mb in size. now i have saved install.wim. but after installation of vista, vista replaces this 4 mb file with its default 25 kb file!!! while this file isnt exists in install.wim! so i think there must be a backup file of winload.exe.mui in install.wim. and i think this file is "winload.efi.mui" i m not sure. so i m asking u guys to help me with this! how can i put my custom bootskin unattended? Regards AMIT

thnx firegeier, indeed, it was problem of bootloader. i fixed it using EasyBCD and it is working fine now . thnx for your correction. Regards AMIT

Hi frnds, i am generally using my external USB HDD drive to boot Winpe Image. i have a 250 GB External HDD, on which i have created a 10 GB primary Active partition. so i m generally using this parition to boot WinPE x64 from it.it was working fine till now. WinPE was booting fine. what i was doing is just copying Winpe files to this primary HDD. and booting it from BIOS. and it was working fine. but today its giving me NTLDR error . i dont know what happened to it. i have checked it that it is set to primary and active partition. can anyone help me with this? P.S. i formatted that partition to FAT32 and booted it again. so with FAT32 partition error is "Plz eject removable media" something like that. and with NTFS partition it was " NTLDR is missing." Regards AMIT
