Hi,

I got this OEM vista home premium from C-zone like a year ago but still using XP because of this partition problem.

I tried like 100 times installing VHP but it keeps messing up with my partition.

For instance, I have like 3 HDDs and each with 3 partitions. At random it will hide one of the partition so i cant access it via my comp. I reverted back to Xp.

Then, there;s one occasion. I tried to install vista, it completely cause one of my partition to be unreadable...hmm, how u call it, "unformatted" or it needs to be formatted. That really almost shocked me but managed to retrieve the data back.


Anyone experience this sort of things? oh, i forgot to mention, i did try to disconnect the other 2 HDD and install vista on the main HDD but after i reconnect the other 2 HDDs, shyte happens.

I install my games on a separate HDD coz i format a lot. Now, i was wondering any solution ? coz i am gonna want to take full advantage of DX10 for games like DOW2 that's gonna be released next year.

You didn't mention whether your using SATA/PATA (IDE). Make sure that you fully reformat to NTFS and remember to install your RAID drivers.
PS: I always delete "ALL" my partitions and re-partition my HDDs then only re-install Vista.
