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-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+.

Thinkpad X200 Vista Business 32-bit Wireless network problems

Hey guys!
I seem to have a persistent problem with my two Lenovo Thinkpad X200, which I simply can't manage to figure it.
I have recently restored the computers to factory settings, which meant downgrading from Windows 8 to Windows Vista Business 32-Bit.
Now, everything with the installation went as planned until I had to test if everything was working. A lot of the drivers seem to be missing and since I do not still have the original manufacturer's disc, I do not know what to do.
I downloaded the ethernet driver from Lenovo's website and that is now fully functional.
I have also tried everything in regards to making the wireless internet work, but without any luck. When I try connecting to the wireless internet, Windows simply can't detect any networks and when I try using Windows function to find a solution to the problem it simply says "This computer does not have a wireless network adapter installed and configured".
I have tried downloading all the wireless lan driver for Windows Vista 32-bit from Lenovo's website, but I still cannot get the wireless network to work.
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thank you in advance

Does the wireless LED light up?
Try Fn+F5?

T500 with Windows Vista Business 64-bit ---- AND NO SOLITAIRE

They're not installed by default on Vista Business edition, but they can easily be added:

In Windows Vista business 64 bits...Itunes can't load data information class...

Can't sync Iphone 4 with Itunes versión 10.7.0.21, in Windows Vista business 64 bits. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and also finding sqlite3.dll and the other dll... and nothing. Renamed the sycservices folder and nothing, copied corefoundations.dll and folder to system32 and nothing...
This is becoming very annoying... any tips?.
Thanks.

Hi!,
    Thanks for your reply but I keep having the problem. I've been investigation through the Internet and I beleive is a COM situation or something is in conflict with iTunes, either way I manage to compare a similar environment (Win Vista 64 bits Business with iTunes running) and figured out that process "Syncserver.exe" is not running and neither is running "ATH.exe".
    I'm reading more about what could possible causing these two process from being executing as they should.
    Thanks.

Vista Business 64-bit on ALL Macs with Bootcamp 2.1

*With the latest Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows Vista 64, can ALL Macs (shipping as of May 2008) run Windows Vista Business 64-bit* (Business version is preferred for professional CAD applications)?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bootcampupdate21forwindowsvista64.html
More particularly, all new Penryn 64-bits Macs such as iMacs, and not only the Mac Pro and MacBook Pro lines. Ref.: Apple refreshes iMac line, now up to 3.06GHz: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/04/28/applequietly_refreshes_imac_line_now_up_to_306ghz.html
*Also, can we confirm that OEM versions are not supported, like I read on some discussions?*
Thanks,
Message was edited by: brun

What is the hardware difference between an iMac and a Mac Pro that prevents that? Is it purely an Apple restriction effort to Pro user base (investment of staff to produce the compatibility through drivers) and not a hardware restriction? An iMac runs on a Penryn chip, a 64-bit platform, therefore perhaps only the drivers would fix this apparent issue.
It still appears that some users were able to do it, re: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1534484&start=0&tstart=0
The install disk would not even boot or Visa 64-bit would install, but not reboot under Vista?
I am reading that it is really a burden to install an OEM version.

Qosmio F50: How can I install Vista business

hello!
I recently bought qosmio f50 and it came with vista home edition..
I need to install Vista business.
How can i do that?
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

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.

HP Windows Vista Business 64 bit recovery discs

I am looking to get recovery cd for my HP windows vista business 64 bit system. I am unable to boot in safe mode to do system restore.

Hi:
It doesn't look like you can get the disks from HP anymore.
You can still get them from this non-HP vendor at the link below.
http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-16921-recovery-kit-533108-zh3-for-hp-model-number-s5150t.aspx
If you can still read all 25 characters of the Vista Business product key on the COA sticker on your PC's case, and you like a challenge, you can make your own plain Vista Business installation media by reading the info at the link below.
You'll be able to save $30+ bucks if you can.

Problem installing vista/xp on a mac pro, installers don't see bootcamp

hello there!
recently, a video post production studio i work for purchased a new penryn-based mac pro (2x3.0 ghz, 6gb ram, nvidia 8800gtx).
yesterday i wanted to install vista onto it to be able to help other windows machines in the studio with 3d studio max rendering jobs (8 cores should do wonders for that), but i ran into a weird obstacle.
this mac has 5 internal sata drives - one (320gb) for the system, and 4 disks (750gb each) in raid0 set (just a temporary setup until the studio purchases a fiber optic card with external disks). the DVD drive is an IDE one.
this is the first time i'm setting up windows on a mac, so i could be doing something wrong, even though i doubt it - it seems very straightforward.
so i created a 32gb partition on the system disk (the only one that's not in raid) using boot camp assistant, and started vista sp1 x64 install (boot camp recognized the install dvd).
after a reboot, vista started it's setup routine. everything was fine until it reached the part where i should select the destination partition for vista. this is the weird part: vista installer sees all 4 750gig drives from the raid, but it doesn't see my system drive (320gig) which has Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP partitions on it. vista even sees any usb drives connected.
doesn't seem logical, as all sata drives are on the same controller (at least that's what leopard system profiler says).
i thought it had something to do with the fact i'm trying to install 64bit vista, so i tried with windows xp sp2 (x86), but the same thing happened.
i searched all over, but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
any thoughts?

This thread says it all - and then some

I would pull all the drives except your boot drive. Makes it easier.
32GB is pretty small actually for Vista x64. And the SP1 patch process can temporarily use another 10GB. Also, you are running off the slow inner tracks of your drive, which is half performance of outer tracks.
Most people opt for stock 2.8GHz Penryn - not a huge benefit from going with 3GHz, but that is beside the point.
Always good to disconnect any device during the install except what you have to use (keyboard, mouse) which can interfere.
You MUST reformat the 32GB from FAT to NTFS before you can install. That is where most people stop. You have to DELETE and then CREATE that BOOTCAMP 32GB (Advanced Options) before you can proceed with installation.
You don't want 32-bit version if you want to access more than 1.9GB RAM.
Lots of threads here in BootCamp, in Mac Pro Discussion, and MacRumors Windows on Mac.

Problems: install oracle 10g 32 bits on RH 5.8 x64

Hello,
Someone has given me an oracle 10g 32 bits to install on a Redhat 5.8 64 bits server (no other server available).
I have a lot of errors during the installation process
exemple:
INFO: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /oracle/client/10x_32/lib/libxml10.a when searching for -lxml10
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml10
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I installed libxml10 64 and 32 bits on the system !
I would like to know if this configuration is POSSIBLE ???!
If yes, what is the solution / process to fix these compli. problems :-|
Thanks for your help !

yes or no ? :-(
I've never seen any 32-bit software that DIDN'T run on a 64 bit OS, as long as the necessary libraries are installed.
I used this process: is it the good one ?
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/oracle-db-10gr2-installation-on-rhel-5.php
Tim does a very nice job with his stuff on oracle-base, but that is NOT the official documentation. Why not use ORACLE'S own installation guide? Have you seen http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
And why are you installing a a version of Oracle that is out of support?
And as long as you have a 64-bit OS, why would you want to run a 32-bit version of Oracle?

Problems Installing ColdFusion 9 (64 bit) on Windows 7 and IIS 7.5

Problem: Empty response for static Files including images, CSS and js files. The response code is 200 OK, but there is no actual response (it's empty).
The ColdFusion Administration web site works correctly except it's not displaying any images, css and js. Why it is serving up dynamic content and not static is a mystery.
Installed ColdFusion 9 (64 bit) Multiserver Option on Windows 7 running IIS 7.5.
I have verified that IIS 7.5 is correctly configured for Static Content for both the handler mappings and the modules.
The Configuration for IIS 7.5 install looks like this:
The ColdFusion web configuration tools shows that it is connected to all instances of IIS.
I have uninstalled ColdFusion9 and IIS 7.5, and reinstalled many times but get the same problem: Empty responses for Static Files.
Help is appreciated.

To Clarify the blurry picture, this is what the IIS 7.5 install options look like:
Web Mgmt Tools > II6 Mgmt Compatility > IIS Metabase & II6 Compatability
WWW Services > Application Dev Features > .Net Extensibility and ASP.Net and CGI and ISAPI Extensions & ISAPI Filters
Common HTTP Features > Default Document and Directory Browsing and HTTP Errors and Static Content
