partition vista 64bit for XP?

<< < (3/5) > >>

chelseaman:
 ;D You guys have the knowledge. Tks for help.
Managed to find older software driver from logitec, got wheel configured again and almost jumped out of my skin when testing force feedback. Dropped that back to 50% for now. Loaded "Burnout Paradise" (game says it runs on XP and Vista). Actually runs on full resolution on pc,and goes through scenes and even gave me a learners license and a beat up car.lol  But then there was no movement from wingman wheel and cannot move car to start.
There must be something I`ve missed. Also could not find an exit button to get out of game. Must be something to configure wheel to game.
Anyway, going to unistall game and retry
Partition is vista 32 bit, but will run repair before download.
cheers

Still no go. MS have so many security stoppers,including Event 5032 security auditing.
Tried with internet off/firewall off etc.
VISTA 64 or 32 are going to get deaded. I want the older games  ;D Will format HD and reinstall XP for a while and surely that should work.
Bed time.
cheers

chelseaman:
Well folks,figured how I will get around this >:D I have several spare cases,mobo`s/processors etc and I will put together an XP rig for the games.This will give me something to do.

I have since reformatted the 32 bit partition,removed it from boot.ini and deleted. Now I have 200gb of clean formatted unlocated space/volume.Haven`t figured out how  to join this back to the main  64 bit volume. May have to do a clean install
and start again ??  (gettig used to this now ;D )
Unless you know of a way. Can I use disk management and just expand volume of drive C by 200gb`s which use`s up unused space in old partition ?
cheers

TheHalf™:
I'm not sure about using Disk Management with windows since I have never used that before, although the program PartitionMagic (earlier versions by PowerQuest) will do that for you.

chelseaman:
 ;D cheers, disk management took less than 10 secs to expand "C" to full size of HD , easier than getting money out of billy.lol

sure you dont want to try installing a 2nd harddrive first? we can help with the boot loader issue,   BUT, it would be helpful to have a 2nd PC with internet access in case you mess up the boot loader and need to get online to ask us for help! :)
