    - Loading an OS while in RAID Thanks to "COLIN" I know now I had to order Upgraded Disks to get Ultimate SP1 in order to upgrade HP SP1.. So with that knowledge and the order placed, I have a question. Can you upgrade the OS (in this case Upgrading HP SP1 to Ultimate SP1) while running a RAID 0 PC? I definately need this one right, because I don;t want to get RAID 0 up and running only to find out next week that I can't loan the new OS due to the RAID 0... So, Guru's, whats the scoop???? Thx ~~ Joey Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58450

    - Won't Upgrade! Hey Everyone, Need some Assistance! I have just purchased the HP m9250F, which comes pre-loaded with Vist HP 64-Bit. I have purchased the Vista Ultimate Upgrade Retail Version.. I have completed ALL updates available for Vista HP. When I tried to Upgrade HP to Ultimate, it would NOT allow me to Upgrade, only to Clean (Not sure if thats the name) install, Upgrade disabled. It suggested that I use a more up to date version and than retry the Upgrade. Not positive if those are the exact words, but 90% correct. What doesn't make sense is that ALL of the updates have been completed and none are pending. So, whats up and how do I fix it? Really don;t want to do a Clean Install, only because I don't know what will or won't work if it done. Awaiting HELP! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joey Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58421

    - Let's save XP!!! Although this a server newsgroup, you all probably either use Windows XP or Vista as your administration workstation. Therefore I am posting this message here. Microsoft plans to end most sales of Windows XP on June 30, despite a deep reluctance by many business and individuals about moving to Vista. I personally believe Vista has too heavy of a memory and disk space footprint, less snappy performance, and it fails to allow one to go back to the classic look and feel of XP. For instance, what happened to the old fashioned vanilla folders in Explorer? And the lack of an "UP" button in Vista's Explorer as well. (Now why did the have to take that away?)

    - Some questions in XP x64 I've just upgrade my daughter's computer with a AMD Phenom x4, it has a full upgrade and I've purchased and installed a Windows XP x64 that I've fully tested in both of my home computers, everything is working fine except. - SIMS2 (the game) does not properly starts and shutdown itself, after uninstall it I've seen the first blue screen in my live in Xp x64, something wrong with graphic card libraries, is there any safe way to install it, or it is necessary to install a wmware with a XP x32 machine??? or any other tweak?? etc. - I've a Microsoft wireless natural keyboard and mouse, working fine with my other computers, and another one with this last computer, yesterday night was impossible to reconnect the mouse, I'd exchange the batteries and did the reconnect, etc. impossible, and the other problem was that from time to time or I lost the keyboard or it was very lazy, I think that should be something with the transceiver (new set in sight, I think), because I disconnected the mouse and put another one (wired) disconnecting the wireless and no problem wit mouse and keyboard. I'll come back with other issues as soon as they'll come. -- Sl2/Corsair Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58414

    - Is my Windows Server 2003 over Intel Xeon 5150 running in 32 or 64 Hi all, I know that the 32-bits or 64-bits OS version question was asked many times before. Anyway, I googled for the question but did not find any answer which matches my problem. At work, we have a huge problem: we compiled an application under a Windows XP SP2 32-bits OS (build 5.1.2600) and we tried to make it work on a Windows Server 2003 (build 5.2.3790) which runs over a 2x DualCore Intel Xeon 5150, 2000 MHz (6 x 333). Unfortunately, the application is unstable and can crash anywhere in the code whereas it perfectly works unders our 32-bits systems. I checked and my Xeon CPU is a 64-bits one. The OS name is "Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition" (displayed by Lavalys Everest). I read that the build 5.2.3790 is the same as Windows XP x64 so I suppose that my Windows Server 2003 will run in 32-bits over 32-bits CPU and will run in 64-bits mode over 64-bits CPU. => So I suppose, I am running my Windows Server 2003 in 64-bits mode. Could you confirm please ? Sorry but I did not find any reliable way to be sure of this. Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58408

    - Vista 64 Bit - Media Centre & support Folks I have Topfield PVR and it is brilliant albeit getting long in the tooth and would like to replicate its functionality and more in a appropriately provisioned workstation. Given that the Intel Penryn Quad core processors are now available, and the price of 1TB HDDs are falling, its time to jump into a a media centre workstation (I also want to use it for normal computing functions (Office, Project, Visio etc). I'd like to use Vista in its 64 bit mode to overcome the addressing limitations. I am in Australia and we use PAL-B as the television standard and have a myriad of standards for what is called Standard definitiona nd high definition digital TV. I want to use the Intel Q9450 or Q9550 processors for plenty of grunt and headroom - the rest is a greenfield site. I'm looking for recommendations for motherboards that are best suited to the processors and media centre (and to future proof as much as possible); RAIDed terrabyte HDDs - OK on the motherboard or better to have a separate controller; Graphics cards (not a gamer but want good output from the media centre); TV cards (the Topfield can record two channels and playback another at the same time - it'd be nice to be able to record more channels than the two (out here programs never run according to the published schedule!) - it that now possible given the extra processing power of the Quad core processors; and any other recommendations that you'd like to make. I'm also interested in any othe potential 'gotchas' that I should be looking out for - drivers seem to be the thing that scares most people off Looking forward to the collective wisdom Cheers Geoff Tag: C: 2 Program Folders???

    - Laptop noise Since I intalled Windows Vista Business 64-Bits in my Acer Aspire 5630-6091 I can hear a strange noise (I think from processor). The laptop config is an Intel Core-2-Duo with 1Gb RAM. With Windows XP I didn't have this problem. This is my second laptop with this problem and with the same behavior: only in normal use of Windows. The most stange is when I start Windows Vista in secure mode: the noise stops. In my point of view, this is a problem with drivers of Windows Vista. When I'm in a quite place this noise is horrible. Please, any idea of how can I solve this problem without removing Windows Vista and changing it to Windows XP???? Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58374

    - Vista home premium x64 crashes with no error message or log entry I've been struggling for 2 weeks now to get the x64 version of windows to run properly. It's a clean install with no added software yet. It will run for anywhere between 5 second and 20 hours after reaching the desktop. When it crashes, everything stops immediately except for the mouse pointer, which will continue to function for a few minutes usually. The HD makes no sounds to indicate that it's trying to do anything. When I hit the reset button and it loads up again, I check the error logs and there is nothing there for the time of the crash and no errors leading up to the crash. I have removed all hardware that is not critical to running the system, I've switched out the memory, run every test I can think of from UltimateBootCD, and run any windows diagnostic tool that I can think of. Since the last image before the crash always remains on the monitor, I have tried leaving Task Manager open on processes tab (ordered by CPU usage), and also system monitor with the HD activity expanded. When the crash occurs both the CPU and the HD are operating at very low stress levels and there are no apparent activity spikes. This is a phenom 9600 with 4 GB of OCZ ram, Radeon HD3650 graphics, and a Gigabyte ma78g motherboard. Al of which worked great with the x86 version of XP-SP2. All applicable updates and hotfixes have been installed. Does anyone know of a solution to this? If not, is it possible to exchange my x64 version of Vista for the x86 version? I'd like to stick with Vista, but if I have to go back to XP to get the system stabilized, I will. Thank Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58364

    - hibernation not complete and cannot wake up Hello, when I try to put my Vista 64bit computer in sleep (hibernate) it looks like it does something but there is no progress bar, just the display shuts off, but the computer is still on! Fans are spining and hard drives maybe spin too. It does not do anything for a while so I try to wake it, but nothing works. Only holding a power button for a 5seconds switches the computer off.

I know my Quicken Deluxe 2008 runs ok, I had already installed and filed my taxes with Turbo Tax on my XP Install, just thinking about the future ( eventually I will probably wipe the XP install) - as of now I have pretty much got all my required programs running ok in Vista Ultimate 64 bit, just hope this next go around Turbo Tax will run in it as well. I did not see Vista 64 listed as supported in Turbo Tax, but don't think I saw it for Quicken Deluxe 2008 either and it runs just fine. -- Don Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58315

    - SATA RAID 2 with AMCC 9950 SE SATA 2 Conroller in x64 I just made an interesting discovery, after *two years* with my Maxim PC "Dream Machine Plus." I had built an x64 dream server with a Tyan K8WE (S2895) motherboard, Dual Opteron 270s (all I could afford at the time), 8 GB of memory, a *brand new, latest and greatest AMCC 3ware 9950 SE RAID controller, and four new Hitachi drives. This RAID controller was one of the first RAID controllers on the market to support SATA 2 naively. At the time I originally installed the drives.I called Hitachi Global Technologies technical support to make certain that the drives were configured to run in SATA 2 mode. I was assured that they shipped as SATA 2 drives. I proceeded to set up a RAID 5 array. I had always had difficult with finding all four drives powering up properly at boot, and I often had to rebuild my array. As I had a PC Power & Cooling 1 KW power supply, I knew that power was *not* my problem. I just recently learned, by using the log on the controller, that the drives were all running in SATA I mode. Hitachi had been *wrong.* I had to use the "Hitachi Feature Tool" to individually change a setting in *each* of the four drives to set them for SATA II. I was a bit angry that (a) Hitachi had misled me and (b) it took me so long to find out. I am posting to this forum because other users may be unaware that their "SATA 2" drives are actually running at SATA 1. Unless one changes a setting in the drive's BIOS, the drive remains SATA 1. Perhaps there is an easy way to know the SATA setting of the drive, via some sort of Windows utility; but I did not know of one. In the future I will always check in advance.

    - Hard drive problems with winxp x64 This is the story... I recently bought some new parts for an old computer, one of them being a sata drive. I went through the hassle of formatting that and now I have x64 on that drive and it is my primary boot drive. But I have two other drives from the old computer that are IDE. I have them plugged in one as master and one as slave. All three hardrives show up on device manager and disk manager. But the slave IDE drive, 300gb, is not showing up on "my computer", and in disk manager it says that it is unallocated. This hard drive was slave to the other IDE drive with my old set up and work perfectly fine. I used a certain disk recovery program to look at the hard drive and it says that it still has all the old files. Now the other drive, the Master IDE says that it is only 31.4 gbs and has nothing on it. It is an 80gb drive and it has the old winxp x32bit on it and other files, probably about 40gbs worth. But the catch is when I try to boot up with that drive it says that it is corrupt. When I ran the same recovery program it says that the partition seems too small. What the hell is going on... And how can i fix this with out losing all of my files... Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58243

    - Is XP 64 safe? Will it make me happy I want to use more ram (8 gig) so I plan to switch to XP 64 bit, if I do, what will I break? I know I can't "upgrade" and that I have to re- install the OS. Can I use the same applications, the same anti-virus? Am I going to have device driver issues like with Vista? I noticed a couple of posts about RAID issues; I *will* need RAID on this box. Is XP64 still supported by most Mobo mfrs? Will Visual Studio work the same? What will I give up? I loved Windows 2000 server but I couldn't find anti-virus and other server level software at a reasonable cost. So I switched to XP, but XP can't handle the big ram mobo's. Windows 2008 sounds great for Virtual PC's but I think the server utility app pricing (firewalls and anti-virus etc) will still be out of my price range. I need to learn VSTO programming so Linux is not an option (is it?). Borg Vomit Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58163

    - Problem with RAID/Install I am having a problem installing XP64 on a RAID 5 setup. I have: XP64 (June 2006) Intel DX38BT BIOS = 1521 (latest) Intel RAID driver = 7.8.0.1012 (latest, XP64 version) Intel QX9650 Corsair DDR3 RAM - 2 x 2GB Western Digital SATA-II 7200RPM 160GB x 4 In a non-RAID setup XP64 installs and runs perfectly. When I switch to RAID5 via CMOS settings and use the F6 driver installation method the installation fails. I have the F6 drivers on floppy. F6-ing at the beginning of setup correctly asks for drivers at the appropriate time. Selecting ICH9 (the appropriate disk hardware on the board) is accepted at the time of driver loading, but when it gets to the "Press enter to install Windows" screen pressing enter results in a "No hard drives were found on your system" error. In looking at the INF and txtsetup.oem files on the floppy I found that the ICH9 entries pointed to device 2922: %PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&CC_0106.DeviceDesc% = iaStor_Inst, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&CC_0106 But my computer (when running non-RAID) reports the devices as 2920 and 2926. I assumed this was causing the problem (and wondered why devices 2920 and 2926 were not included in the DX38BT driver I downloaded) and added the appropriate entries hoping that this would allow windows setup to find the drives. No change in behavior. I've considered trying to slipstream the drivers onto a new CD, but couldn't see any reason why the F6 method was failing that slipstreaming might help. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58125

    - Google Earth Hi I'm buying a new machine soon which will have Vista Home Premium, 64 bit. One of my favourite programmes is Google Earth, and it's own website says it doesn't work with 64 bit systems (although some users seem to have found workarounds). Is it possible with Vista to tell some programmes to work in 32 bit mode? Or does anyone here already run GE on such a system? Thanks Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58117

    - Recently re-installed Vista x64 - now doesn't shut down correctly I recently (Thursday) re-installed Vista x64 because I experienced major issues which turned out to be the RAID drivers on the Gigabyte controller on my board. Switching them to to the Intel controller instantly solved all the problems I had experienced previously. Over the past few days, every time I booted it would tell there are new updates - and yesterday it also downloaded and installed SP1. Every since then, when I shut down I briefly get an error message flash up onto the screen right at the end and then Vista will reboot instead of shutting the machine off. During this reboot, it now takes me to a screen where I have to select the 'Boot Windows normally' before the machine takes me to the Windows login screen. Anybody have any clues about this one?? Thanks Tag: C: 2 Program Folders??? Tag: 58113

    - Add Network Location. IE x86 and IE x64. Settings in Guest account. Hello! 1. Windows Vista x64 shows an error message "Add Network Location The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another." after clicking Next in "Specify the location of your website Type the address of the website, FTP site, or network location that this shortcut will open" window. The folder is http://files.akado.ru/slide/files/51796441/home/ I can add the Network Location in Windows XP by doing the same. Norton Internet Security 2008 is installed. The account is administrative. 2. IE x86 crashes during opening a page when IE x64 is open. 3. Windows does not allow to turn on the language bar and input a switch language keyboard shortcut in Guest account: it turns language bar and shortcut off after clicking "Apply".

32 bit applications get installed in the (x86) folder.

64bit programs install in the Program Files folder and 32bit programs
install in the Program Files (x86) folder. Welcome to 64bit computing.

Hi,
In addition to Gary's and Colin's comments, you don't have to worry about
the use of those two folders.
Every installed program goes to the proper folder according to their version
(32-bit or 64-bit).
