Installing Vista Business

I'm trying to install Vista Business on my MacBook Pro and can't seem to get past the first step of the Vista Business installation. After clicking on Install Now it shows me my partitions I then select the partition BootCamp created, and it won;t allow me to go any further and then scans for a drivers disc??? What am I supposed to do?

After selecting the Boot Camp partition did you select the format option towards the bottom of the same screen. Boot Camp makes a FAT32 partition. You will need to use the windows installer to convert this to a NTFS drive before you can proceed further.
Hope this helps.

Do i need to format?
Then how can i install back all the utilities and drivers that it came with?
Will i have problems with my laptop if i do that?

Hi
The Vista installation is not tricky.
Just put the Vista disk into the ODD and then boot from the disk.
The installation will start automatically.
But this will format your HDD and you will lose your installed Win XP and other files.
> how can i install back all the utilities and drivers that it came with?
I assume youve got a Toshiba recovery disk.
If you want to get back the OS installed by Toshiba then you should use the Toshiba recovery disk for recovering.
PS: what Qosmio F do you have exactly? I ask it because F 108 is not known to me

Cannot connect to college network after installing Vista business on Satellite A215

I have a Satellite A215-S4757, which i brought with me to college, I was told that the college's server has a problem running on vista home, which is what I had, currently the wireless is down, so after installing business and connecting the ethernet cable my notebook does not pickup any of several networks available, wireless or otherwsie

What to say you can also access the network using Vista.
But please note that the Vista OS supports additional network access security settings which must be either disabled or reset.
This How to website released by Microsoft should help you to configure the network settings with Vista:
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/networking.mspx
Here several hints:
You should try to Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then clicking Diagnose and repair.
The Vista supports additional firewall options. Please disable it while trying to connect to the server.

Problem installing Vista Business 64-Bit

I was able to partition my second harddrive and restart, but when I got to the installation step (after booting into vista setup), I cannot install it on any harddrive. The hard drive I wanted to install cannot be installed. I even format that drive like it said to do in boot camp instruction but it still gives me a message that it cannot install on the drive I just formatted. Any idea?

Format the partition (I think you actually have to delete and create new) because BC and Disk Utility don't create valid NTFS volumes for Vista. Sometimes after creating a new partition, if it won't, just restart from Vista DVD is all it takes.
If you don't want to use the entire drive, use Disk Utility, create a FAT partition, and you'll be fine, after changing it to NTFS.

Vista Business 64 on iMac - drivers wont install

I installed Vista Business 64 bit on my 2.4 GHz iMac. The install went fine until I got to the initial boot of Vista. When I inserted the Mac disk to install the drivers, a little dialogue box popped up and said that Vista x64 was not supported on my computer. Oh really? The operating system runs just fine, but it isn't any good without the Apple drivers for networking, etc... Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Why does Apple get to dictate which version of Windows I run on the computer that I bought and paid for? If they support 32 bit Windows, what is the difference if the support 64 bit Windows? Too much competition, I guess.

Unfortunately, the iMacs are not officially supported by Apple for use with 64-bit versions of Windows. They enforce this lack of support with their Boot Camp drivers installer. I won't pretend to understand why the MacBook Pro and MacPro models are the only officially supported models for 64-bit Windows...but, that's the way Apple wants it for now.
I've put Vista 64-bit on 24" iMacs before, and, it just takes some creative driver installation. I didn't chase down trying to get everything functional (e.g. the Boot Camp Control Panel).
For the wired ethernet: Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Drivers (obtain from Marvell's site)
For the sound: Realtek HD Audio Drivers (obtain from Realtek's site)
For the video: Obtain the latest ATI Catalyst driver package. Use Mobility Modder to enable them for install on your iMac (http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php)

License sticker is for Vista Business, but Vista Basic is pre-installed

I just bought a Satellite Pro L300 that was supposed to have Vista Business installed.
When I turned on the laptop and went through the initial operating system installation and configuration, Vista Basic installed, without ever asking me for a license key.
The license sticker attached to the bottom of my laptop states 'Windows Vista Business OEMAct'.
How do I install Vista Business? There were no cds/dvds in the sealed box that the laptop came in so I don't have any additional programs to install.
I bought this model because supposedly I could downgrade from Vista Business to XP.
Thanks!

Hello
You are right. Satellite Pro L300 should be delivered with Vista 32Bit Business. Don't play with preinstalled OS and contact your local dealer or nearest Authorized service provider.
ASP can contact Toshiba and obtain right Toshiba recovery media for you.
This should be of course for free. :)

Vista Business 64-bit Mac Pro 2.66 4-core

Hi,
Before 10.5 release, I tried to install Vista Business 64-bit twice, Erasing and starting from scratch both times (on a dedicated internal hard drive).
Both times I had driver issues...I eventually Erased a 3rd time and went with 32-bit.
I learned today Apple is now supporting 64-bit at least on some later 2007 Mac Pro models.
My 4-core 2.66 is April 2007.
MY QUESTION:
Does 64-bit work on a Mac Prow tower 2.66Ghz, 4-core (10gb ram)?
(I'm not brave enough to try it on my 8-core).
Will Windows Bootcamp SOFTWARE UPDATE give me all the required drivers -- no basic issues that would waste my time again trying to make 64bit work?
+++++
Note: I have the Tiger 10.4 OEM disks and a retail Leopard 10.5.0 install disk to work with.
I also have both 64 and 32 bit disks for Vista Business.
Is there a trick to doing this?

I'm done for today, but there was only one trip-up, getting the 2008 64-bit Apple drivers.
I started with Vista RC1 two years ago, and no major deal breakers in the last year or so (late '07 seemed to clear up most driver and applications).
Format drive as MBR and NTFS (and skip using BootCamp Assistant).
Install.
Update.
Install Apple drivers.
Don't install what you don't need (I learned to avoid Norton).
I've used Business, Home Premium and Ultimate, all 64-bit.
If you have a 2008, then use its OEM DVD for BootCamp 2.01 64-bit, you need those sort of for HAL and stuff. The 2008 officially supports 64-bit due to its EFI64 ROM is UEFI 2.01+.

Vista Business Extremely Slow HDD Speed

Just installed Vista Business on a brand new MacBook Pro 15". Installation went completely without hiccup, all hardware appears to work fine.
However, I am trying to transfer 30Gb of data to the internal HDD. I have tried transfers over the network (Gigabit), from an external USB 2.0 HDD, and internally from the Mac partition to the Boot Camp partition. Under no circumstances can I achieve a transfer rate higher than 1.5 Mb /sec.
Any ideas? All updates have been installed...

t3kka wrote:Reading around on some other threads I found regarding a slow login to tty I noticed some folks state that a large root partition could be the problem. My HDD is 500GB with the root, var, swap, and home partitions being ~80GB, ~20GB, ~6GB, and then the remainder as in home (respectively). Maybe having a large root partition along with the location of the home partition makes the HDD head travel a much further distance which is physically equated to a delay in login and other actions. With such a large HDD, what would you recommend for partition schemes?
I have a 640 gb 5400rpm drive, and I've installed arch with only a huge root partition on it in the past, and had no speed issues (currently I have a 40gb root and a ~595gb home and a 5 gig swap).

Installing Palm Desktop 6.2 on Vista Business: only installs Media and Install, no Cal, Contacts

I attempted to install Palm Desktop 6.2 under Vista Business on top of Palm Desktop 6.2 beta. I selected a complete install. After the installation and the device sync, only the Media and Install sub-applications were available on the desktop (though all were still available on the handset). No Calendar, no Memos, no Contacts, nothing.
I subsequently re-installed (twice), each time removing the Palm Desktop software completely (from the control panel). Same result. Is there some trick to this I need to know?
Thanks.

Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Thanks, I very much appreciate the help. But why does this happen? I mean, after I tried it,
I figured, okay, maybe if I change the security permissions no the executable so that my id
has full control... But no. I did that (also changed the permissions on the link), but when I
bring it up under my account without running it as Admin, it still brings up only the media
portions of the Desktop. Then I went through c:\Program\Files\Palm and gave full control
permissions to my id for every executable I found in the top level directory. Still no joy.
I do appreciate the help -- it certainly beats not being able to access my calendar at all --
but I'm afraid I have to call this more of a workaround than a fix. For one thing, I'd like very
much to be able to access my calendar from a userid on this machine that does not have
Administrative privileges. Any chance for a fix at any point in the future?
Thanks again!

Cannot install Photoshop CS4 on Windows Vista Business

Ok people, looking for some help with this. I have a new PC (less than 2 months old). I cannot get Photoshop CS4 installed at all. I'm sure there have been a million threads like this before asking the same question. Although I am a newb to Photoshop I am certainly not when it comes to computers, this is what I do for a living. I can't even believe I am actually having to ask for help.... :\
Anyway, help appreciated. I have Windows Vista Business SP1 (32-bit), and its running on a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5GHz with 4 gig of RAM. I have plenty of free space on my hard drives.
When the install completes, I get the same error message, installed with errors. When I click to see the error info it says something about language packs (I can get the exact error if you want, just installed and uninstalled about 10 times but hey).
Things I have tried a few times have been to follow through all the other threads and the Adobe support pages - Uninstalling the product through Programs first, running Windows Install Cleanup, running the Adobe CS4 Clean Script - when I do these things in this order both of the cleanup utilities don't find any installs of Photoshop CS4, so it doesn't appear they are doing anything. I have disabled everything on the PC, done a selective startup, turned off UAC, firewall, anti-virus - everything suggested. Still, the same error persists.
I have even run my Registry Mechanic and cleaned up that, and of course checked registry permissions etc. Please help!

You may want to install Vista SP2. It contains a lot of fixes and has the newer 4.5 installer.
Also if Vista is set for English then CS4 has to be set as US English upon install (I think someone already pointed that out).
Before install go services and set the windows installer to auto and start it. Also good idea to turn off windows defender.
Go to MSconfig and turnoff as many start up items that you don't need running (you will have to reboot).
Ensure nothing Adobe related is running in the back ground before install. (someone already mention this I think)
Anti-virus: I turned mine off during install.
I did not install AIR nor Device Central on my system as I would never use them.

Ok, so I've tried all the things suggested above but still get the same errors....
Adobe AIR
Error:
Error 2.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack

LangPack (English) for DeviceCentral

Anyone else have any idea what might be causing my problem? The other thing I was going to try was contacting Adobe support, but can I do this for the trial version? When I tried to log a case it kept asking me to select my product, but I don't have one yet....
Thanks.

Hp officejet pro 8000 a809 installed locally on vista business with driver 8.12.2008cant share to xp

My customer has a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 installed locally on Vista Business with driver 8.12.2008 He wants to share this for use on the XP PC but after installation on XP and trying to go into printer properties the message comes up "The HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series' printer driver is not installed on this computer. etc etc Do you want to install the driver now? It doesnt matter if you go through the installation process or not, when you try and print a test page you get "Test page failed to print. Would you like to troubleshoot etc"
I have tried installing the XP drivers locally AND on the Vista PC but with no luck. On the shared tab under "additional drivers" there are only Vista drivers listed.
Any advice gratefully received.

Depending on the model of the unit it may not be wireless. if it says A809n then it is a wireless model, but the A809a model is not. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01659070.pdf Here is the manual for that unit in case you need it.
