my laptop is sweet

the BIOS chip is loose, so when you boot/shutdown u have to press on the area to the right of the touchpad, or it just hangs

i play Quest For Glory 1 on it

games from 1989 FTW

:/ There's no 32-bit is there? That's the version of Vista I'm trying to install.

Also, it's still an .exe.. and just meant to.. ? I don't know, set it up on a PC that's already running? I don't know how I could make the setup recognize that driver.

Could I install it to the USB key? and then just have the setup run a search on it for the driver?

Even though it doesn't seem to want to search for anything.

It isn't RAID 0. It would be a single device in Ubuntu if it was RAID 0. They are independent disks. He still needs the driver, though.

**Obibun** · **130** - 09-19-2011, 19:28

It's not even extracting the .exe because it claims (righly so) that the netbook I'm doing this with "isn't compatible"

hurgghthrgrgghh

**groove** · **132** - 09-19-2011, 19:34

can you set the SATA controller to AHCI instead of RAID in the BIOS?

**Obibun** · **133** - 09-19-2011, 19:37

Yeah it's not working, this driver. I just threw it on a USB key and targeted the search specifically to the key. Nothing.

Spoiler

Not sure but it appears I just set SATA Operation to AHCI in my setup menu, we'll see if the installer detects it now I guess?

**cael** · **139** - 09-19-2011, 19:44

why are u using a dell right now then???

**Obibun** · **140** - 09-19-2011, 19:44

Hey no goddamn way, it almost kind of worked with that AHCI thing.

It found it this time (well, one of them.. only 456gb which is just one half of my two drives but whatever)

However upon trying to install to it, it told me that Windows couldn't determine if it had a valid system volume, or something, then exited the installer.

I feel we are close.
