lee and guys, wanna share something here
vista basic disk shrinking feature in disk management is cool for a client OS  by using this, the repartitioning problem of recovery disc/partition is easily solved check the attachment, hope this is helpful + add: for NTFS only...

ya, 800=PC6400
for my case, the original 1GB ProMOS RAM is removed, and 2GB kingston is added 3GB (1GB ProMOS + 2GB kingston) is slower than 2GB kingston alone maybe 2 different barnd 'fight' with each other, or 2 slots is 'hot'  This post has been edited by sueway: Oct 20 2008, 01:11 PM |

QUOTE(dleonseng @ Oct 26 2008, 06:31 PM) hi guys! recently i bought a cq60(don't think its out in market yet, employee purchase) that came with freedos. i wanted to install xp professional on it. when i pop in the disc and selected to boot from disc, the screen went blank for like 5 minutes then BSOD. did you mean boot menu is gone? according to article, default vista boot manager should be able to detect xp0xF78DE524,0xC0000034,0x0000000, 0x0000000 ^ this came out. Help? strange thing is when i pop in vista home basic installation dvd the setup immediately started. Am i stuck with vista? but i seriously prefer xp pro though. but u may try EasyBCD after home basic installation http://www.download.com/EasyBCD/3000-2094_...cdlPid=10780572 |
