EP45T-UD3P problem with windows Vista install

[engala]

HI,
Yes, My vista CD is very old. I am in the process of slip streaming an XP CD with SP3.

I am hoping to have better luck with XP......

thanks

Sorry, I mean have you tested the hard drive with manufacturers diagnostics tools yet?

Hi,
I slipstreamed XP with XP SP3 and was able to install XP on the PC.

I am missing about 200GB partition that was not formatted and it does not show up.

RAID feature is also disabled right now....

thanks for the help....

You can try a utility called Acronis and see if it is capable of resizing your partition to use the full capacity of the hdd. Acronis or Partition magic allow you to resize partitions on the fly with out losing data.

if it is not formatted partion, it will not shoe up because vista woun't know what letter to assign to it..

it must be formatted ( just the partition)


also bear in mind, the size of hdd might be slightly smaller then the advertised size due the how they calculate the size.
