when it comes to installing os i am a noob can i reformat a laptop with this which has win xp pro already running thanks for any help

rt37, all you have to do once you have burnt the .iso file to disc(DVD-R) is open your cd tray and pop it in. Then restart your laptop. most modern laptops are already set up to boot from the CD/Rom drive first. If yours doesn't automatically boot from that drive then you wil have to enter either boot setup or CMOS(Bios Setup) and change the boot order. then save your changes(CMOS) and restart the computer. Windows Setup will then do its thing and offer you two choices either upgrade(disabled on this Vista. or a clean install. Choose clean install. Windows will find your XP partition and offer you a choice of partitioning methods. Choose to set up Vista on the XP partition. It will then reformat and install Vista on the XP partition. This is the easiest scenario for a noob.

thanks for the info and of course the upload it is very much appreciated:-)

no problem rt37! it is not as hard as it sounds. remember it is almost impossible to really screw up your computer unless you are trying to overclock your processor. worse come to worst you just have to reinstall your XP. Remember you HAVE to have at least a gig of RAM and about 20 gigs of free hard drive space on your machine. Ultimate is a real resource hog. The other Vista flavors are less so. I recently installed this Ultimate on a 8 year old desktop and it is running just fine. o and it is nice if you have a 1 gig+mghz processor. the_nakaii

permbe I am seeding it and will continue to seed until I see the seed count go up. I have uploaded as of thursday 3/13/2008 at 9:34 am CST a total of 3.62 gigs and my share ratio is 1.266 the availability is at 1.885. Maybe some of you peeps should start seeding it in your turn. the_nakaii

My current upload speed for this torrent is 30kb/sec as of 3/13/08 at 9:38 am CST U.S.A. the_nakaii

Thanx to the community for seeding my torrent. I am now ceasing to seed as I need my bandwidth for other purposes. Enjoy all! the_nakaii

for me it doesn't work said file is invalid or corrupt or doesn't iso file. could I fix it somehow thanks!

Same for me no iso or corrupted file won´t boot. No way to see any files on the dvd nor the iso file.

Rekommend stop downloading.

Are you just making us a joke the_nakaii or what:(

Downloaded all but computer says corrupt file or unknown format - recommend u all stop downloading? Seems like others have same problem?

I used Nero Express to burn it to disc. Your burning program must be capable to burn image files. I recommend the use of Nero 7 or higher.

you noobies are panicking for no reason! But that is to be expected. Also I recommend the use of BitComet version 0.58 for windows 2000/XP so you won't have to wait all day for your download

I don't have the time or the inclination to joke around permbe. Sorry you are having such a hard time of it.

you noobs! you cannot burn this iso file as a data disc. You cannot open it! Burn it as a .iso file. It is a IMAGE FILE!! Use any burning suite that supports the burning of an IMAGE FILE such as .iso

Not Dloaded so cant say if any good, for burning the iso image use magic iso or power iso

c'mon folks lets have some seeders plz plz plz 225 hours is a long time:(

This torrent is Fake.I
have tried nero express and followed Nakaii instructions and it is all B/S.
Do not be suckered and download.
As for Nakaii he should be banned.

Hi Nakaii!

Please help me!
I downloadet it, and mount, but it says, it's a blank new DVD. Than I try to burn it, the burning was sucsessful, but the burned Dvd is EMPTY!!!
What can I?
Scani

So we HAVE 2 clean install this? By wiping out all the precious work, memoies & games in our machines :'(

You should use magic iso, ultra iso or power iso to read iso file... Like said before u must burn it on a dvd as an iso file and not as a data file, then boot on your dvd drive to install (press F2 on your pc to change boot order in bios when booting)... I'm trying to downloas it but it'll take a will with only 2 seeders...

spartanAK47 : you can choose another partition or backup your stuff

ISO did not work, was not recognized by PowerISO. Tried to burn it with Nero, but nothing happened when I put it back in after finishing, it basically thought the drive was still empty.
