Windows Vista - a system of large and serious, but it is more than compensated by the fact that "Vista" are still very crude, and if the bugs are known anyway Windows XP, the new operating system from Microsoft accounted for GNUstep. Particularly unpleasant trouble two fundamental processes - the installation of Windows Vista and its uninstallation.
Rigid "Vista"

Almost from the first day of the appearance of "Vista" Sales users complain smart enough to get the error message during the installation, reading that de Windows Vista has not been able to find a hard drive that meets all its requirements. Case exacerbated by the fact that the hard disk requirements of a just and satisfied, and the problem that hide in the user's dreary deadlock.

In fact, there is no particular problem - for the case to the driver chipset, respectively, the problem is solved as follows: at the site of the manufacturer or notebook motherboard have to download the latest drivers for the chipset, supporting RAID or SATA and working under Windows Vista; virtually all modern producers parent maps take care of the front support Windows Vista, so problems with the drivers should not.

The downloaded files, the first step must be carefully rewritten to any external media - for example, a USB Wireless now we vseoruzhii in, and you can reboot by running the installation process anew. We stayed last step - the installer Windows Vista on the right drivers, you can do so by clicking on the inscription "Load Drivers" in the window where the user is invited to choose where to install the new OS.

The only time that there could be problems, particularly the use of some ancient "iron" on the other hand, who in sound mind would put Windows Vista on ancient iron?
For producers, which not only declared the transition to Windows Vista, but also fired update their drivers include: Intel and Intel Inf Chipset Drivers (chipsets P975, 965, 875, 865) and drivers for NVidia chipset nForce 4 Series, nForce 430 / 410, nForce 500 Series. Read about how these producers are going to "live" with Windows Vista here: NVidia and Intel.

However, in the palm Championship errors related to the drivers took a slightly different problem. "When you install Vista" holders of some DVD-ROM 's, most firms NEC, faced with the following constraints: Windows Vista at the stage of collecting information about the system suddenly began demanding for the drivers, nor much or little, a DVD drive, rather than shocked scarf users (as is known, DVD-ROM 's belong to the so-called IDE devices, which drivers-and it is not particularly necessary).

In fact, the problem is the fact that for certain (in particular, the 965 - x) chipsets-DVD drives are connected through quite whimsical JMicron controller, which is causing the unexplained conflicts. Consequently, the task of installing "Vista" in this case is through BIOS settings - they need to find settings SATA and translate it into operation ACHI. You can now reboot - the problem is solved.

Occasionally mirror and encounters a situation where the need to turn off AHCI, it is manifested as follows - when installing Vista "cover" Freeze "from paragraph" Completion of the installation and flatly refuses to do anything; allowed all quite simple - configured BIOS must be regime change in the AHCI ATA.

Back to basics

This installation problems with "iron" ends, and begin the installation "a serious problem" plan - for example, as "settle" on the same machine and Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

The decision here may be several, the simplest - to "Vista" over the already installed Windows XP, the main thing here - to both operating systems on different logical partitions, the "Vista" rigidly requires a file system, NTFS.

According to sources close to Microsoft's, in recruiting Service Pack1 for Windows Vista, which will be released in late 2007 - early 2008, will involve improving and drivers. There will be improved with external drives, flash memory cards and drive, and other data carriers, as well as reinforced the staffing list of certified drivers for the system.

This is followed by clear section, which will be installed fresh Windows Vista, making a backup copy of important information, and will be able to run Windows Vista Setup, without leaving Windows XP, with any particular complications arise should not, the main thing - Windows Vista indicate in the appropriate box , on what it needs to drive to nestle. After installation, changes will be immediately visible: when booting us poprivetstvuet Windows Boot Manager, which allows to select the appropriate operating system to boot. This is the easiest option, the case more difficult, if you do not need to install Windows Vista on top of the Windows XP and Windows XP on top of Windows Vista - although there is nothing complicated.
