Ok, so I have an iso burned to DL dvd of vista extreme RC2 64bit. Now, when I try and run the setup from my Windows 7 partition, it doesnt work unless I run as admin. Thats fine, but I want to install to my other partition, which has a diff version of vista on it and a bunch of crap. Now, the setup wont let me format from that screen, right clicking the drive and format doesnt work, and Im using EASEUS partition manager now and the format option is grayed out for that partition. Now, none of this would be a problem, but I cant seem to get my PC to boot from the Vista extreme disk. So....Im getting kinda frustrated.

yea i agree i use disk management myself..hey supe to do this using windows disk management go to "computer" right click and choose "manage" a small window will pop up and choose "Disk Management" and pick the drive where you have you partition at. in the long zebra look box you right click and pick the option to either re-partition or partition hard to tell since i can't see your computer management configuration.Comment

Re: Need a lil help here
i guess im a old ms head... lol If your like me. You have multiple copy's of ms os laying around.(I have every version of xp vista and now 7 burned and label via light scribe) what i always do whether dual booting or single partition is. I use my xp disc. clean the drive or the partition in question with it. Then reboot and pop in (in this case) your 64 bit vista.The area in question should be unallocated space now. You should be able to install now. I have always done that and never had a failure.Last edited by kaos; August 12, 2009, 08:21 PM.Comment
