Well, I think the problems in vista are related to the xp install problems
so, it might not be the media, but it doesn't hurt to check or try at this point I wouldn't skip anything. Then the next question why would the DVD drives disappear ?
That's it for me
First, I'd guess I'd check the jumpers and the IDE cable
Then maybe reset the motherboard then connect one DVD drive up at a time making sure to change the jumpers. Then look at the PSU. Then I'd guess I'd start disconnecting and disabling until I got a different result.
What's the...
If you have an older AIW radeon card with older drivers you might want to make an image back up first or now even if you don't install sp3.
sp3 and old ATI drivers don't jive, they check for SP2 and if the can't find it load SP1 drivers or NSP driver. Also MS has made ATI drivers a critical...
I'm not sure if I got this right
You boot the system and now XP boots ? And you can't get into Vista ? Because other wise you should see the XP drive in Vista without doing a thing.
If this is the case then you should just be able to switch the boot order in the bios.
BTW even if you...
You don't need to change permissions in Vista to view it.
Just run a third party file manager as Admin
I don't think someone that wants to disable system restore and is creating full back ups is going to cause any problems no matter what they do to the system volume information folder...
actually if you don't have access it shows at 0 bytes anyway. It could be full of stuff
yeah, it looks like you got some shadow copies there, there must be an overlooked service still running. I haven't really looked into shutting it off.
System Restore in Vista looks like it might...
I have c:\users\user name\local settings but when I browse with an operating system that doesn't use or recognize the contents of symbolic link folders it's empty. I suppose the paths can be different system to system depending on how the vista image was created. I guess you'll only know what's...
c:\users\user name\local settings
doesn't appear to be a true path
application data path is
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local
the application data and local settings are both a linked folder of that
I used mklink on a system restore Volume Shadow Copy to a C:\ drive folder and produced a similar effect. Where the Shadow Copy had a linked folder to the Shadow Copy and so on and so on. Not that it used up more space it was just a linked folder. So maybe you could delete the folder if it was a...
Well, I have the same in both users and documents and settings when looking with ExplorerXP while running it as admin. And yes it appears to be a loop of a symlink, so if you delete one I believe you'd delete it all. Not a good idea.
what about running a file manager like ExplorerXP with Admin privileges, it can be very handy you can also do a command prompt from any folder you've selected. I'm not sure if it work in all situations but I've found it handy.
have you tried pluuging in somewhere else or to something else ?
have you added any external devices ?
It kind of sounds like it might be starting by itself not restarting
