Spooky Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 How did it corrupt your BIOS? All it does is read your BIOS, it doesn't write to your BIOS.Vista, totally corrupt my system BIOS aswell, so i dont like VIsta that much, but like i said, in the future, there will probsbly be a way to work around the Minimum of 512 Mb RAM, but until some one discovers it, i woud just stick with xp Hope this HelpsThanks Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethanmcf Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 well, it confussed me, and when i contacted DFI (my mobo manufactour), they said it writes a ACPI.sys and OEMBIOS.sys file, which may damage the boot sectors of my BIOS, so i just agreed lol Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Ahhh...OK I see now. Those files are a normal part of a windows OS, have been since the NT days when ACPI BIOS's became available and are installed when you install windows. They have changed over the years but all they do is communicate with the BIOS but they don't write anything to the BIOS so they didn't damage any 'boot sectors' in your BIOS.well, it confussed me, and when i contacted DFI (my mobo manufactour), they said it writes a ACPI.sys and OEMBIOS.sys file, which may damage the boot sectors of my BIOS, so i just agreed lol Ethan Edited January 8, 2007 by Spooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethanmcf Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 i dont know what happend then,but when i installed Vista, all of a sudden without even entering the Bios for anything my CPU Changed to a AMD hammer Head Family - Model Unknown, and nothing would happen with the BIOS, so i just took DFIs Word, So like i said in my previous post, i was confused, and still am, lol Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmitMx Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 hi i want to try vista but currently only havce 386mb of the required 512 i was wondering is there away to remove it or away around it other than using someone eles ramthanksp.s hope this is in the right sectionHey, I've been having the same problem too. I do not have enough RAM to install Vista, but after reading this thread, I can run Vista without 512MB Ram?Someone needs to find a tweak in the setup.exe to bypass it checking how much ram you have. I know there is a way to do it, someone find it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
