Windows Vista Beta 1


Recommended Posts

Being leaked as we speak at specific bittorent sites.  Can't confirm if legit or not!

What part of no warez talk on NeoWin do you not understand? If people are half smart they can find things for themselves without you spreading crap everywhere.

Well I got Vista installed, took about 25 minutes or so to install Clean and I installed it from an image mounted on a Virtual DVD drive in Alcohol 120% onto a seperate HDD. Went off without a hitch. Just starting to tinker with it now. More later.

Oh Goody !! I can't wait. Is it slow and stupid? Or is it just me? Maybe , if I got a P4- 4 Ghz processor it would help? Noooooooooooooooooooo, Oh No Mr. Bill!!

" So the price cost to the consumer will be driven down even less" Quote --Bill Gates--- 1996--- sidenote---- Do you think he controls hardware prices so much that he MADE his prediction come true, or is he not really the antichrist?-- Spank me if Im wrong but any OS from MS I have seen running XP MUST have at least 128 k available RAM or it freezes,, or just goes slow like a x286 ... or simular,, something like that ,, sure , sure ,,sure!! Shut up JD. OK.

Anyone having problem with a 6600GT AGP? I read the install notes saying how X700 and X800XL might have problems because PCI-E and AGP have same ID...does that mean it's the same deal with nVidia cards? My problem rite now is that it just freezes after the second restart at the boot manager...

I hopes that it will goes well with a A64 3000+

Not like 5048...

Does they had enabled UXSS to Radeon 9600Pro?

Well, I can't get it to install on my P4 2.8 laptop. Just freezes at the boot logo and does nothing.

(Y) Thanks for the report... good luck getting it going :)

Odd that it wouldn't display an error message of some kind :unsure:

Chill out there Josh. Just wanted to point out that there must be testers out there leaking which is sad and unfortunate because allot of guys wanted to be part of this beta and didn't get invites. Bittorent is not warez as MS used it to provide SP2 in its early release. Beta 1 is also not warez sorry to burst your bubble.

I'm having major install problems.  See basically I didn't have anything on the hard drive.  It wasn't formatted or anything.  I went to install and was having problems when I had to pick the drive.  In the readme, it said you couldn't install on a raw HD and to open up diskpart and create a partition.  So I tried to and diskpart keeps running me in circles.  It says to create a partition it needs a volume, to create a volume it needs to be basic, to partition it needs to be dynamic, to install windows it needs to be Basic.  It's a never ending circle.  Can anyone help?

I would just try formatting it with an XP CD. See if that works.

How long does the finishing install take? It's been on that screen for over 45 minutes. It's not froze but it just seems it would be done by now.
