Out of curiosity, have you installed the uGuru utility and driver (driver's installed automatically when you install the utility)? I don't recall it being listed as a USB device, but the uGuru chip does consistently show up as an unknown device, and it's not listed on Abit's drivers page, so...

Seems like a good setup you've got there. Should be pretty straight forward. Assuming you don't run into oddities, and have all your ducks in a row with drivers and whatnot, you'll be surprised how smooth Vista installs can be. I've done two in the last week, first with 32-bit, and I'm finishing...

My strongest recommendation before doing something like that is to use Acronis or something like it to image the drive. That way you can always image it back if it fails. That's the first step I always make before making any changes.

If I'm not mistaken you should be able to format the first partition, then boot with the Vista disc and run the repair console and run the fixmbr and fixboot commands to restore the boot information.

I think this is my first time posting on this board, or close to it, but it seemed the best place to ask. I just completed a much-needed reformat of my system a couple of days ago, including installing Vista in the first partition on the drive and leaving the second one empty and available...

I'm running a Core 2 Duo at 2.4Ghz and 2GB of RAM with Vista Business 32-bit, and it runs faster than XP for me on the same rig, as well. And the animation hasn't caused any slowdown at all (it really shouldn't, since it's offloaded to the GPU--it should actually run faster than running the...

The anti-Vista sentiments on the web are incredible, and incredibly inaccurate. Nothinman broke it down well, and similarly to how I've done in the past on other forums. It's all FUD, and it's all things that were issues with XP. People seem to have incredibly short memory spans, and treat XP...

Windows Photo Gallery, which comes standard in Vista, works extremely well, as does the plain ol' folder structure of Windows itself. Use keywords to tag photos for cross-referencing purposes and you have extremely customizable organization methods. It's one of the main reasons I switched to Vista.

It's MicroTorrent, and that's how I pronounce it when I want to be accurate. That said, if I'm telling someone else about it and how to find it, I explain that while it's called MicroTorrent, the symbol for Micro looks similar to a "u," so that's what the website address is that they can...

My luck with Vista since its release has been relatively good. I've had few, if any, real problems with it, and overall I enjoy it. Still, there's been one nagging issue since the beginning that I'd like to start investigating again, and I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas. I...

I used Startup and Recovery in System Properties to edit it, as I have with all the previous versions of Vista I've installed. That said, I finally backed up an image of my C drive and then deleted the "boot" folder and the other two Vista-related installation folders from my C drive and the...

Alright, so I tried to install the latest Vista build off of a mounted image yesterday and it failed. I'm now left with a couple folder on my C drive that shouldn't be there (temporary Windows installation folders from what I can tell, as well as one hidden folder named Boot), and a boot menu...
