It might be so that is why I wish somebody would share a link on here I really don't want to wait until friday!

Well all the download links so far, are for those with msdn, connect, or technet membership, so even if you were given a link, the download would be disabled. You could try to re-download the leaked version, and give it another go?

Does the windows 7 install format the C drive?

I read some conflicting things on this.

I tried skimming this 54 page post, but I am tired :p

oh god my signature is old!

Of course not.

Boot into the Win Install DVD and you have complete control of where Win7 gets installed, etc. Plus, it doesn't auto-format anything. You have to manually tell it to format partitions and what-not.

Thanks.

I thought that would be case, I just wanted to make sure.

Running the x64 7000 build now. Speed is about the same as the 32bit 7000 build. All XFI and Nvidia Drivers from Guru3d work just fine. Counterstrike Source working well! =)

You cannot install Creative XFI drivers downloaded from Creative, you said it works fine? Don't you mean you are downloading the driver via Windows update?

Use compatibility mode, and run it as Vista. Works excellent for the X-Fi drivers. :)

no matter what compatibility mode you do it will not install, says it does not find the hardware and the driver does not install, you can only install from the cd which you get with your X-fi, the web updates do not work. And if you install drivers from CD then 2 channel will only work even though you have other options and Digital out dont work.

My xfi fatal1ty web driver installs worked fine in compatibility mode too. I have DD and DTS working fine via SPDIF. Initially i recieved an error about OS compatibility but once i put the install program to run in Vista compatibility it worked like a charm. If you are getting an error that indicates it cannot find the hardware... you may want to check Device Manager to make sure the card is showing up. Otherwise im not sure what's going on with yours. But what you stated is completed untrue.

Trying to do a clean install of the X64 version. When i get to select partitions etc i get the error "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing partition".

I have tried removing all partitions on drive and then creating a new one and formatting also i have tried another drive.

I have the ASUS P5Q Deluxe MB.

Anyone?

i followed the instructions windows gave to about deleting some files in the WINDOWS\softwaredistrabution folder but it won't let me delete them cause the files are in use, but i did shut WU down?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.
