insanekiwi Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 see that's what i meant. people download it and oan oh no my drivers do not work. it's a beta OS. what do you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metro Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I made the mistake of Dualbooting Vista with XP... now my system is hosed. I was getting missing NTLDR messages, got that fixed, then got BOOTMGR issues. Performed a repair and things appeared to be normal, fixed the MBR, everything. No Dice... Gonna reformat and call it at that... this sucks :| Should have installed on my other system :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oompa Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I expect common components to be supported, but what can you do. We're here to try to find a fix/work around. You telling us it's a beta OS doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 If you want to test beta OS's, make sure you buy a card with a Realtek 8139 chip on it (they are the cheapest as well, often rebranded (i.e Dlink DFE-583TX)). I would be surprised if you could find an OS that does not support it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProtoPunch Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I didn't have any problems (that weren't expected) You should cross your fingers but EXPECT stuff to not work. On my XP partition my nForce 4 6.66 drivers caused random glitches and caused anything I downloaded to become corrupt. I reverted back to 6.53 and using WinRAR, extracted the files from the 6.53 executable and gave those a shot in Vista Beta 1. The installation had an error when it came to installing the IDE driver, but I restarted and then manually installed the ethernet by directing it towards the folder with all the extracted drivers. Voila, it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProtoPunch Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D Metro: What did you use to create a second partition? I used PowerQuest PartitionMagic 8 and it worked great. The Vista installation was so painless, I wish XP were just like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
