My laptop, a Toshiba Satellite 300 came with Vista 32 bit home premium already installed,it is not quite a year old,it plays up to the max! I have been unable to install most of my programmes on this wretched machine.The latest has been my Creative Live! 24 surround sound set up. I visited Creative web site and found they had some Vista drives for my hardware, I downloaded it but everytime I shut my computer down and start it up I have to reinstall all of the drivers........ I have update the firmware,bios and all the relevant drives for the machine.

Did you have integrated Audio before you tried to install your Creative labs sound card, if so did you deactivate it in your Bios before trying to install your new one. If not maybe you have a conflict with the drivers of the two sound cards and Vista is deactivating your new one when you restart.. A wild guess but a thing to check. |

Alzeimer is right, if your card is integrated and you are trying to put the Creative in then there is a compatibility issue and nothing will work. However, vista and the new Windows 7 operating systems have a new thing about installing unsigned hardware. (which means that it can't be done) There is a way to get around that by disabling it before you boot the OS. I have a windows vista on an old Via Motherboard and the one video card I found that was newer than my Nvidia 4200 was unsigned and vista refused to let me install it. I was pissed and even more pissed to learn what Microsoft has done with their new OS's.....If you want the article send me a direct message and I'll give you the link to it. (not sure if I can post the link here?) |

I haven't gotten an e-mail from you yet(maybe due to the filtering I set), but here's the link to the article: http://www.citadelindustries.net/readydriverplus/ It does mostly talk about Vista & windows 7 64bit, but also works for x86 What type of motherboard do you have? And did you find out if it's integrated? |

Can anybody give me some advice here? Keep your F as an extra slave partition for C and reformat C and put xp or vista on it? You will have reformat both, but for the slave hard drive just create a partition the size of the HDD. |

Put the windows xp disc into the cd drive, turn on the computer and load the disc. When it gets to the reformat or install screen just choose reformat and pick the drive you want to reformat. Simple as that. Never heard of needing Admin rights to reformat any drive, unless you are trying to reformat directly through the hard drive. |

dont need original NT DIsc?? To reformat, no you dont. You can put in the vista disc if you want, all it does is reformat, it's nothing special. That's just like reformating another partition through one hard drive to the other, it's built in reformat in the computer management. |
