[nVidia Series] Installing Windows Vista and drivers

hello welcome to the forums
do you mean that you have a windows xp that came as a part of a lenovo system?and you want to upgrade it to vista using vlite or your own customized vista installation right?i think you must be quite familiar in slipstreaming service packs into windows installation discs and ofcourse you can also include drivers and all stuff like wallpapers if you like!
if you have further quiries regarding slipstreaming service packs go through the link given below
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/xpsp3_slipstream.asp
if you are confortable with slipstreaming you will be able to slipstream lenovo's drivers into the iso image
Cheers and regards,

Having trouble installing windows vista with snow leopard

I replaced my hard drive with a 3tb Seagate and partitioned the hard drive and installed Snow leopard and then partitioned the hard drive with bootcamp and went to install windows vista and got the error message that windows vista cannot be installed because of the gpt partition. Help.

sounds like you have a 2nd hard drive.
Also, you may run into 3TB issue with MBR. The boot partiton volume has to reside totally below 2.2TB so you would need to leave .8TB free. I think.
have an SSD and hard drive, both? during install you can't have another drive with GPT so you can't have OS X or GUID data drive present. During install.

Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? Not needed to install Windows Vista

Hello,
I am new at this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. I own a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
To do this, you must perform a fresh install of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100),for audio (Soundmax), for TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (toshiba modem), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install Toshiba nvidia display driver, Toshiba Bluetooth (monitor and stack), Toshiba texas flash media driver, toshiba RAID (driver and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Below some pictures of my G20 Desktop screen:

http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg
And here is an example of using deskscapes animated backgrounds with Windows Vista, called dreamscene.
It is in paused mode
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg
To perform a fresh install of windows Vista:
Please, download the Toshiba RAID drivers from here:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/raid.rar
1. Copy the contents of this archive onto a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
3. Power on your computer and press F12 to display the boot menu.
4. Choose the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
5. On the first setup screen, choose your language options then press "Next".
6. Press "Install Now".
7. Type in your Product Key then press "Next".
8. Accept the license terms by checking the box then press "Next".
9. When asked "What type of installation do you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
10. When asked "Where do you want to install Windows", make sure your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, then click on "Load Driver".
11. Browse to the location you have copied the RAID drivers to then press "OK".
12. Setup will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
13. Make sure the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected then press "Next".
14. Continue the installation of Windows Vista as normal.
Now you will need the Toshiba drivers for your Qosmio G20:
See the Device manager info:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg
Drivers:
1. SD memory controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar
2. Bluetooth monitor and stack
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar
3. Nvidia display driver GeForce Go 6600
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/nvidia97.52.rar
4. Texas FlashMedia controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/flasmedia.rar
And finally the Toshiba utilities:
Toshiba Configfree
Toshiba Assist
RAID utilities
Remote control manager
Toshiba SD Memory utilities
That's it...
So I must tell to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.
Hope this helps people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their Qosmio G20 machines.

During the installation, Windows will complain that you are installing an early device driver. Do not attempt to this, Install it anyway.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or Vista version in your Mac. Make sure you downloaded these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 Also, if you have the Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade your Mac or the OS X DVD that came with your Mac, you can use it to install the Boot Camp drivers

Hi guys, I have recently installed window vista by using boot camp under Lion, and how do i install the drivers for vista?

There are no Vista/XP drivers for Lion or for the newer Apple computers.

Install Windows first, then Solaris {not the other way round}. When Solaris installer detects Windows installation and prompts you whether to preserve Windows partition, make sure to select 'preserve' option. I believe Solaris installer creates appropriate GRUB entries for Windows and Solaris. Even if it doesn't, you can always edit the GRUB menu after the installation is complete.
Check the following web site if you need detailed instructions:

Correct Answer by Peter Lepere on Oct 14, 2011 3:07 AM
Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message:

Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message: An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e3b",process orArchitecture="x86"". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424.

A broken Windows Modules Installer then. It's a bit of an involved fix getting past it, but we've had success here with it in the past.
First, I'd strongly suggest setting up a system restore point.
Now try the Scenario III treatment from the following document:
Windows Update Error 80070424 in Vista
Head back into Windows Update and attempt to get updates again. If they still fail, this time with an 8000FFFF error code, try the following Microsoft document:
Windows Update error 8000FFFF
If you get Windows Updates flowing again, stock up on any you're behind on (restarting the PC when requested to do so). This may take some time and may have to be done in several batches, depending on how far you've fallen behind. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
After the updates have been installed, restart the PC one more time (in order to ensure that any pending installs requiring a restart have been resolved).
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the 0x80070424 this time?

Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

I want to get windows vista on the macbook pro with retina display but my first question is this that how do i install it without using a DVD OR CD disk drive, and my second question while installing windows vista do i have to tick mark the install win 7

hello i have a few problems and i hope somebody has a solution my first problem is that how can i install windows vista without using a disk drive and my second problem is that should i tick mark the option which says Install windows 7 while using boot camp please reply, Thanks,

When running Windows in a virtual environment Windows and OSx share your computer's resources such as RAM. Therefore your games can not use all your computer's resources when running.
If you install Windows natively then Windows and your games can and do use all your computer's resource such as RAM.
But as already said, older operating systems are not supported and will not run natively using Boot Camp Assistant. You must use Windows 7 if installing natively in Lion or Moubtain Lion.

Nvidia Graphics Processor (windows Vista) crashes on CS6 and works on CS5

Hi Steve in Palm Desert!
I see you are running Windows Vista.You know that Vista is not supported for CS6, right? It is not prevented from running, but not supported.
That known, what video card do you have ? Do you have the most updated driver? My laptop is brand new and I had an outdated video driver right upon delivery.
Maybe that could help.
Check out the following links about supported OS and Video cards:
