I have two SATA drives and 1 IDE drive, all off them are NTFS

Under XP go to Control Panel and open Administrative tools. from there open Computer management and from there open disk management right click on the disk or partition you want to use for vista and choose format and use the quick option as well as NTFS from the drop down. Once this is done launch the install from either the DVD or a mounted image and choose that partition for install.

OK I need a little help here.

Trying to install it on my laptop. I have 1 80 gig HDD split into 2 partions. 1 for XP the other for the beta 1. Both are NTFS. When I boot from the DVD, I get the windows loading screen, then it goes to the Longhorn screen then it just stops I let it sit for 15 min thinking its doing something but its not, it just stops the progress bar freezes.

When I load the DVD while in XP, I go thru the setup, choose the partition to install, everything is fine, when it reboots, I freeze again at the same point on the longhorn loading screen.

My laptop is a P4 2.8, 1 gig ddr 400, 80gig HDD, ATI 9600 Mobility 128mb, Intel Pro wireless 2200.

I should have no issue doing a dual boot but, I can't for the life of me figure out what the deal is. Any input?

    • I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
