We got a new Dell machine with the Vista preinstalled. Employee wanted Ubuntu (how do ya blame him?) so he resized partitions and installed Ubuntu, but now Vista won't boot.What can we do to get Vista to be happy again?This...
I installed vista for the first time it booted and started installation, it says NFTS partition required i convert my partition to NFTS. Software loaded but then starts the compatibility issue. It did not accept my creative soundcard. I installed NERO 7 it crashed and showed compatibility issues. Now microsoft said it built the software from ground level then why isnt a backward compatibility for softwares maintained as in XP.My first impression of vista is only graphical bells and whistles. Regarding the software front a compatibility with all softwares installing on this new OS.Its gonna be hard to play with vista, i still prefer XP right now and the worst of all to restore the NTFS partition to 32bit required me to reformat my hdd and install xp all over again.
Hello. I installed windows vista. I wanted to enable Bitlocker but it says I need an extra partition. I have plenty of unpartitioned space on my hard drive (as I was going to install Linux as well). Can I simply create an extra NTFS partition to make Bitlocker work? Or is it too late now.
And secondly, does Vista have a tool or something to create extra partitions?
