ination Of Sleep I Need Help On How To Turn That Button Back To Shutdown

I have an upgrade edition of Vista Ultimate edition. The problem I face is I am currently running XP Pro SP2, and my mobo has a built on Raid controller (HPT370/372). I ran the Vista Advisor and it says my HPT3xx is not compatible with Vista. I emailed the manufacturer and they state:
Hello,

We no longer develop for the individual HPT3x controllers.
You can try using the RR100 drivers (this card uses a similar controller), but we cannot guarantee it will work with your hardware.

My question is, if I perform and "Upgrade", will this "Vista beta" driver work? Or should I perform a clean install to "TEST" this driver, and see if it does work.

The point? Like any manufacturer, Microsoft is interested in selling new products to consumers. Just like automobiles or soap, there is always something "new and improved"

I have Windows Vista and a restore point should be made everyday... I have only 2 restore point for about a month.

Hi Friends:

Many of you know that my express upgrade for my new desktop is on the way from MS. Do you think that it would matter in any way if I decided to upgrade my laptop using the upgrade disk rather than my desktop?

Why would I want to do so? Well, I keep hearing that the copy of XP being upgraded will no longer be authorized for use once the upgrade is done, and, at this time, I'd rather "lose" the XP for my laptop than the XP for my desktop. At least that is what I am thinking right now.

Also, do you think that the copy of XP being upgraded will no longer be authorized for use once the upgrade is done.
