Need a lil help here
 

Ok, so I have an iso burned to DL dvd of vista extreme RC2 64bit. Now, when I try and run the setup from my Windows 7 partition, it doesnt work unless I run as admin. Thats fine, but I want to install to my other partition, which has a diff version of vista on it and a bunch of crap. Now, the setup wont let me format from that screen, right clicking the drive and format doesnt work, and Im using EASEUS partition manager now and the format option is grayed out for that partition. Now, none of this would be a problem, but I cant seem to get my PC to boot from the Vista extreme disk. So....Im getting kinda frustrated.

hi bro had this problem one time have your try open run type diskmgmt.msc and try to format that way next option i used the east tec eraser app to wipe the partition if remember correctly that dont work the hard way you can use boot to nuke darik but be carefull whit this that you select the partition and hopefully it will show up on both apps i never use partition apps like paragon i use diskmgmt in the windows console easy and safe

another one that i use is acronis disk director, the cool thing about acronis is that you can boot to it like a boot loader and you can format disks from there...

Re: Need a lil help here
 

yea i agree i use disk management myself..hey supe to do this using windows disk management go to "computer" right click and choose "manage" a small window will pop up and choose "Disk Management" and pick the drive where you have you partition at. in the long zebra look box you right click and pick the option to either re-partition or partition hard to tell since i can't see your computer management configuration.

Re: Need a lil help here
 

Ok, so the diskmngmt had the format option grayed out also. Im gonna give some of the programs you guys suggested a go.

Re: Need a lil help here
 

Ok, tec east is a no go. It says "Can not gain exclusivity rights" and aborts. Gonna try the other one now.

Re: Need a lil help here
 

Ok, so acronis did the trick. Now I got my Windows 7 on one partition, and Vista Extreme RC2 on the other. Now I just gotta get all updated and then transfer my stuff from the external back on here and I will be good to go. Thanks for the help guys.

Re: Need a lil help here
 

is that freeware? Because i normally do it without any program

Re: Need a lil help here
 

Hey bro did u find vista extreme rc2 here ?

Re: Need a lil help here
 

i guess im a old ms head... lol If your like me. You have multiple copy's of ms os laying around.(I have every version of xp vista and now 7 burned and label via light scribe) what i always do whether dual booting or single partition is. I use my xp disc. clean the drive or the partition in question with it. Then reboot and pop in (in this case) your 64 bit vista.The area in question should be unallocated space now. You should be able to install now. I have always done that and never had a failure.

Re: Need a lil help here
 

Yea thats good, the only problem that was messing me up though, was that the vista wasnt bootable. It was supposed to be, but just wouldnt. So I had to do it from my other windows. But yea, what you suggest would of worked perfect.

Re: Need a lil help here
 

lol so make it boot-able. even magic iso could do that. nero as well. Next time you need os pm me. I wont mess with it unless its a untouched iso. All the fancy gui mods and tweaks. I don't care for others. i tweak my own lol.At least this way i know whats in it.Although i do add a cracked folder to my iso's i make. so after install i can go to c drive run my activation and genuine patches. then after i delete folder....but its always their on fresh flash...

Re: Need a lil help here
 

Haha, sweet!! Wish I woulda known this about 12 hours ago!! Haha, I'm def gonna need a kaos hook up

Re: Need a lil help here
 

i have those copy too but i found it easy to do it from disk management .and i never had problems myself.But i guess everyone do it differently..

Re: Need a lil help here
 

lol dude im so anal.Every time i install a new system. I don't ever quick format. I always do the long way.checking every byte Do you know how long a 1tb drive takes to format the long way? lol I DO. 14 hrs. lmao was a long time then....lol

Re: Need a lil help here
 

shit I'm glad you told me i never did it on a tarabyte.If That's the case I'll do your method..lol

Re: Need a lil help here
 

Ya i always figure if im installing a os its for a reason. last was corrupted, upgrade.So on. Point is these are examples of reasons why. Bad ones. If os has to go again. So i want no trace and to rule out harddrive sectors. Idk im anal.....but my systems always run smoother then melting butter....

Re: Need a lil help here
 

On your tarabyte hd is it running hot?

Re: Need a lil help here
 

everest reports. on average use i run 124 F .. When i stream or i have heavy access. Hottest it ever got so far was 136F.

thats just my tb. my cpu motherboard and gpu run alot cooler. and my case is mad vented...lol alot of fans...I am looking around for perfect liquid cool setup. but i many build my own concept...

Re: Need a lil help here
 

wow ok yea my boyee HD on his desktop is running hot, so i had him buy a small fan and put in in front of it.Because i know when that the hd gets hot, he can loss data.

Re: Need a lil help here
 

Hey, do you have any "Kaosed" version of Windows 7? The one I have sucks. It says OEM RTM, but I dunno, not liking it at all.

Re: Need a lil help here
 

right now i have and am using the 64bit of ultimate 7 fully activated with hazars first loader. key isnt blacklisted yes. So i update and all... by the time it gets blacklisted there will be more keys...to re activate..lol
