Hi, I am trying to install Windows Vista on my Surface Pro 1. I installed it similarly to the way I installed Windows 7 shown here: However, I installed it in a VM first with the files on another partition, then force installed Intel HD 4000 Graphics drivers, and USB 3.0 drivers. When I deleted the Windows 7 partition, and booted it on my Surface Pro 1 with the FlashBootPro EFI files, it booted successfully into Vista (it played the startup sound), but it hung at a black screen, and I am unable to see the screen. I have even tried connecting it to an external monitor, and still nothing happened.

Hello, when I put x86 and x64 version of Vista SP2 together in one WIM and the run the installer it becomes extremely slow when comes to accept eula, define partitions or chose which edition I want to install. I came across that problem few years back when made such AIO using command prompts only for integration, recently I did the same using WIM manager from winToolkit.

I have created an autounattend.xml file for my all-in-one Vista SP2 disk and it seems to work nicely, except that the installation slows to a CRAWL once it asks for the product key. Typically I set it up so if I don't enter the key, it will ask which version, which occurs but at a snail's pace. The installation proceeds at a normal rate without the XML file. WinSIM says the XML file is all good... it is attached... any help would be appreciated! Autounattend.xml

Anyone get any errors from the 4-12-2011 Microsoft updates? I've installed all updates except for KB2491683. I am getting a 800fo900 error from just this one update. I thought Microsoft had it stuff together with these updates. I used to get update errors from Win 98, and Win XP. But never from Vista 32. I did all virus scans, I even downloaded the update by itself. Same error. 800fo900 error.

Is there a dual boot application for Windows (prefferably Vista) that could enable me to boot Windows and Linux? I use dual boot on one of my laptops (grub) and I don't like it very much because is more compatible with the linux environment (obviously, being his) and less compatible with my Windows Vista installation. My second question regards my primary laptop on which I have installed Windows Vista Enterprise with Encryption. I want to create a image of this installation. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any application that creates images of encrypted images or drives. Does some know any backup applications that support this feature? Thank you
