Issue with Installin Vista Build 5284

Two things would happen

If I tried to upgrade it, it would get about 34% and then complain about an error, which was setup.exe

The other is, I'm installin Vista as in a full install, and well every now and then I hear my HDD, shuttin off, i heard it do this at least 5 times. Then I finally actually heard the HDD turn back on and the lights showed sign of it being accessed. Now I'm still at this Screen sayin Installation is takin longer then expected.

I'm wonderin If my hdd is dyin, its a 7 year old WD 20 gig, the rest of the pc is 250's

the whole pc is

2.9 P4 Celeron...I HATE P4, i miss my AMD

1 gig 3200 ddr

128 FX 5500

270 gigs HDD

I'm going to go to bed and see what happens when I wake up, I BETTER PHUCIN NOT GET Deleting Orphaned File Extensions, CHKDSK my ass, more like A GUI Formatter....

Well, official Beta tester or not, i'm sorry to announce you that your not ready to use Vista yet...

Wait for that it go RTM on the end of the year, and then you will be hable to contact Microsoft and ask for help with qualified Technician.

its a leak on a torrent site, I also like that PEBKAC, catchy also, kinda like 1D10T error. Now I'm goin to see if i was right, if my HDD is dying, the thing has been through so much, first HDD I ever had

OK.....How much does it cost and what do you have to do to become an Official Beta tester?

Finally you know a little bit more that you was looking like,

So there some tips for you:

First, Want to care about your spelling? I'm better and English is my second language.

Second, you are on one of the most big Windows related board, if there a leak, thrust me, we will know it.

Finally, Stop saying the words "Vista + Torrent" it's your first day here and you start badly.

Ask your friend?

I'm sorry, I'm just goin' through some withdrawls, and also being in college and all can be real stressfull. We were talkin about the MSDNAA, I think that's what it is, and how Vista can install so nicely. I remember when Longhorn was FIRST introduced, and how the vector based system was supposed to be all greedy about the system resources it uses.

I'm eating food now, I'm eliminating my hunger. Also the first prhase you said

"Finally you know a little but more that you was looking like" exactly what does that mean?

That is an interesting question How much does Msdn cost?

I searched on the msdnaa site and for a full membership it costs ?594.00

Price displayed is VAT Inclusive where a valid VAT Registration number has not been provided. Customers from the following countries must pay VAT regardless: Germany (16%), Norway (25%) and Switzerland (7.6%).

I'm experimentin, I have all my **** backed up now, I might even ghost it, but eh Im goin to have an OS is 15 minutes, then play around, ah the joy of experimentin and torrenting

And let me guess how you came across a copy of Ghost. :no:

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
