It might be your installationis corrupted before finishing. try fresh reinstalling. I doubt it has anything to do with your HDD, as mine is also a SATA HDD and it works fine

tried , i think maybe becoz the some parts of the files corrupted during download .
and vista's a friggin ram hog to me , lags bad when i play titan quest .

lol, I'm on 1GB too and it still feels like XP. anyways, the new build has been released. you might want to download this version

If i wan to install vista do i still need to install sata driver...? coz im using sata hdd

No need, only if ur mobo don't support the HDD without the driver

OO...means if my mobo supports sata means no need driver la...okok..thanks alot...

guess what guys..
i'm running vista 32 bit version rite now from my old rig..
AMD Athlon XP 1.15 Ghz.
1gb ram
Ati 9200 se

only some time lag so far..and cannot run more than 24 hours without restarting the system coz after that the system will start lagging..

so, vista can even run in old rig..just no hardcore memory eater program n extreme 3d games..

cheers..just wanna share my experience..

Vista is syok!! but for the mean time XP better due to its requirements and compatible drivers/softwares...

Your specs are probably not good enough for Aero (due to your processor and graphic card)

If you're to use Vista I'd suggest you to get a new rig altogether or just stick with WinXP

Ok.. i have some confusions and questions need to be answered before i proceed to install windows vista..

lets say i still want to maintain my xp and want to install vista on my another partition.. so i will have 2 windows... what about the software compatibility? If i have bitdefender in xp... and in vista is totally different right? I mean all those software in xp wont affect vista?? I'm worried abt this.. i'm afraid of software conflicts.. lol

So now I'm confused with your question..but i guess it might be one of these

1. Do you mean do all your software installed in your Windows XP partition will affect your operation in your Windows Vista partition? The answer is NO, they are working as two completely seprate entities. So you don't have to worry about conflict or all those things.

2. Do you mean whether the software used to work on your WinXP are compatible to WinVista as well? The answer is not necessary. They are some compatibility issues wherein some software can't work properly in WinVista. For RC1 compatibility list, please refer here

Hope it helps.

hi mod, thanks for answering my question. Now only i realised have some typo in my post. Ok then.. anything i'll ask u again thanks~

Probably u installed Vista on the Sata drive which basically shows as the 2nd harddisk in the Bios whereas the PATA drive serves as 1st drive. As such, even installed Vista on the sata drive, the Boot Manager was installed onto PATA drive. U could either installed Vista onto the PATA drive or...onto the SATA drive whilst disable the PATA drive during installation.

err.. coudlnt u like select your primary boot up drive in bios ?

guys im currently downloading the iso from ms.

quick question, i dont have a dvd burner or player(spoilt)...my plan is to load the iso with alcohol 120% (virtual dvd drive) and commence install

do you think it will work? ive done it b4 with xp but not sure abt this new vista...

anything with atleast 512MB of ram
1.5GHZ of processor speed
and 128MB atleast a ati 9500 series above or nvidia which can compare with the 9500 series GPU... sure can support vista.....
ofcoz HDD would be 60 GB above....

tried on 64MB x700 acer laptop..... the windows aero work too....

Basically, th GPU si not that important. it's just ofr the Aero theme. Vista still can be used without it

Guys wanna ask anyone of u receive ur Windows Vista Beta cd frm Microsoft?
Cuz there's a thread last time regarding the Windows Vista thing where u answer question correctly and will receive the cd..

or izzit juz a hoax?
