Nashy Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 XP on 1 drive, Vista on the other. I can't use it as primary, or even stay booted in Vista for more than 5 - 10 minutes as I can't get my net running in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDevil Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I tried dual boot without clean install and after the boot menu it just hanged.

Mine's running on a: CPU: Pentium IV 3.2GHZ MEM: 512DDR (gonna get more soon :D) HD: IDE 6700 20GB VGA: Nvidia FX 5700 LCD SND: Audigy Platinum with KX drivers running fine, a little bit slugish but its ok :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don_bertone Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 My system is: P4P800-E Deluxe P4 3.0c 1 gb ram fx5700 256mb 120gb Maxtor 8mb I havn't installed it on this system but on many others like a P4 2.4ghz P4P800 512mb ram R9200 80gb WD My question is that On my own computer I want to run dual boot. But this is my drives layout: c: 10gb windows XP d: 50gb movies and music g: 60gb apps and stuff Now My question is, is it possible of installing vista in my G drive without formatting or making a new partition with partition magic or whatnot. And if I do will my c: partition be hidden from me when in vista with G and when in win x(c:) will my G partition be hidden any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerAusgewanderte Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I have tried dual boot with xp with no luck. I have 3 hds each 160gb and I tried to install on a small partition of my third drive (secondary IDE slave, two partitions). Install started slow and on reboot it would hang, everytime I tried. Changed all kinds of settings in bios with no luck. Then I tried to install on second HD, primary IDE slave (one partition), also on this one with no luck. then installed on vmware 5 and worked like a charm. It is actually pretty fast. Only downside is that there are no transparency effects. Sound doesn't work either - neither with the onboard or the sblive, even after all the tricks people posted here. It installs the drivers but no sound (vmware thinks there is sound). Good for now to test it. system Asus P4S800 3GHz P4 with HT on, oclocked to 3.25GHz 1Gb Kingston HyperX PC3200 Nvidia GeForce 5600 256Mb 3 160Gb Maxtor 8Mb SBLive 5.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grasshopper Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 i was wondering if also with the spec's, you could let us know are you using the 32 or 64 bit? Vista has 64 bit os doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFu84 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Go into DevMan and force the Standard VGA adapter, reboot and install the original Microsoft LDDM ATI driver. That should fix it. I had a similar problem with my GF 6600GT and that fixed me right up. 586314079[/snapback] How exactly do you force it to use that driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
