Johnston Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 ok then i think my pc just does not work with vista at all, beta 1 or the pre beta 2. im an official tester n all, so the download is def fine. Tried installing beta1 loads n loasd of times, usin dif. techniques same with beta 2 but everytime it gets to is now installing and hangs, no hard drive or cpu activity, left it on for about 20 hrs and nothing. Downloading partition magic to have a look and see saying i have my hard drive partitioned, altho i have tried to install on c: and d:, both formated, from within os and from boot etc with no luck. my pc's not too bad, amd 2200+, 512 mb ram, ati radeion 8500, 120gb hard drive, my harddrives only 5200rpm though maybe this is the problem???

scakesence Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 First Step ( copying files and whatnot from windows XP ) - 15mins Second Step ( rebooting and running the setup / installing ) - an hour roughly. So around 1h15mins, give or take some. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2.4 1 GIB of DDR400 ram GeForce 6600GT SB Live! The pre-beta2 runs fast enough using normal nvidia drivers. For such an early build ( considering we're so far away from release ) it's decent and stable enough. However, when I use the alpha LDDM drivers from nvidia ( that were made for beta 1 ) even though I get the aero glass theme, and everything looks beautiful, I notice some chopiness. But that's nvidia's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
