[Ambar]

hey thnks..another prob do u need a primary partition fr dat(vista)....

 

[samrulez]

primary partition??well......after u install Vista u r BOOT.ini in u r windows XP drive will be useless.....Vista will have its own dual boot system.....
leaving the XP installation as it is.....just boot from the Vista DVD and continu installation in u r d:\ or e:\ or f:\ etc etc ...

do we have to format the partition once to install vista

i mean i'm havin 35 GB left in H: drive and some data is also present ,so do i have to format it??

 

[hafees]

You dont need to format any partition. As an NTFS partition is recommended for Vista, just convert one of your FAT32 partition to NTFS using Convert command - only if you dont have one. (here is one tutorial for doing that - *www.aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.php). As long as a writable primary partition is there, you don't need to create another primary partition to install Vista along with Windows XP. The MBR, boot.ini etc will be replaced by Vista itself.

I have a 40 GB HDD and 4 drives with 9.3 GB each. Can I install Vista in my drive?
Also I have only 256 MB RAM. Will Vista run on my PC?

Ok guys , i have installed Vista in My D: drive. But , No drivers are installed in it.
I have Win XP SP2 in C: drive.
This is what I did: First I right click D: drive and quick formatted it in NTFS. Then I autorun The Vista DVD and pressed the Install Vista Button. Then It asked for partition , I selected the same D: drive for it. In between , it said warning that could not find Primary and secondary IDE channel, Continue???
I selected Yes. Then It installed. But now the problem is , graphics are extremely poor and I cannot install my motherbord drivers in it. It says error.

What to do???
Where I went wrong???
How to solve the problem????
