    - x64 driver for intel HD Audio that works? Can anyone tell me how to enable the sound output on my new computer? Intel D946GXis with Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Windows XP Professional x64. I first installed the audio drivers that came with the MBD, and had a problem with the UAA Bus Driver for HD Audio. I downloaded the MicroSoft Update KB901105 and the latest Intel driver ver 5.10.5208.exe. I am now stumped as the sound and audio device in control panel still shows "No Audio Device Installed". All the codecs are installed also under the hardware tab. Any assistance will be appreciated! KR Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39850

    - Windows Vista Webcast If anyone is free next Thursday morning, I'll be doing a webcast on my Windows Vista beta experiences. http://www.support.microsoft.com/kb/925734 It's listed as a level 100, and we'll probably be at that level for the webcast, but the intent is to have some time at the end to answer questions, etc. No promise that I'll have all the answers, but I'll try, as usual. I also want to spend some time talking about betas in general, though the focus will be on what's new and interesting in RC1/RC2. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39845

    - IE7 - updating only one of 'em? Hi all, I realize that IE7 is an update to IE6, and thus as with every previous version, you can't install and run them side-by-side. XP (and 2003) x64 however is a unique beast, as it ships with both the x86 and x64 versions running independantly. I would think one should be able to update, say, IE6 x86 to IE7, but keep IE6 x64. Has anybody actually tried this yet? I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I just don't want to be the first to report whether you actually can or not. :o) Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39838

    - just in time debugger problem I am am multimedia developper with Macromedia Director. Seemingly there are some script-errors somewhere, that are not displayed by Directors error-detection. I got to say that I use HTML display and javascript in the same application via an extension for Director (WebXtra by tabuleiro). These errors only get seen on machines with just-in-time-debugging ON. Unfortuantely the customer's company uses this setting worldwide. As I learned on my search for information, this tool has something to do with visual studio, which I must admit have never touched even with my fingertips. My problem is: How can I have this debugging tool on my machine, so I can watch my application as it runs. And so finally find the error to deliever a clean application to my customer? Thank you for advice Peter Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39829

    - Printing in Vista x64 and HP Officejet 7410 Posted this in Printers and faxes, but got no response. Maybe since I am running x64 of Vista this forum can help. Windows Vista RC2 x64 recognized and installed drivers for my HP OfficeJet 7410, but when printing multiple page documents from the internet or Microsoft Office 2007 (especially Outlook) with Technical Refresh the printer only prints one or two pages. It usually prints the first and last page, but prints blank pages in between. Can transfer the affected file to Word and print OK. Have RC2 x64 installed on Gateway GM5048 with 2 gb memory on a fresh install. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. This has been going on since Beta 2. Anyone with any ideas why multiple page documents won't print? -- Cuyler Smith -- Cuyler Smith Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39781

    - iSCSI initiator I'm trying to install the following: Initiator-2.02-QFE-bld1895-amd64fre.exe On a fresh build of Windows Server 2k3 Enterprise R2 x64 with a Dual Core AMD 64bit Opteron (285), and I get about halfway through the install before I get an error dialogue that is titled "iscsi200 Setup Error" and gives "Incorrect Function" in the body of the error message. The only thing to do from there is to click 'OK', which then brings up another error with the same title but with "iscsi200 installation did not complete. Select 'OK' to undo the changes that have been made." in the body. And when you click OK, it backs up the steps that had already bene done and there we sit. The event log does not tell anything specific beyond what the error popups already told me. I have two of these servers, both in the same state, doing the same thing. Are there any known compatibility issues with R2 and the iSCSI initiator? Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39780

    - Dual boot blues Hi all, After all the dual boot instructions you guys have posted, I managed to mess up my computer anyway. Maybe one of you will help me if I promise to follow directions. I started with XP64. Then I brought an old drive that had XP32 on it, reinstalled the system to try to get a dual boot (I know I shouldn't have done that but I was in a hurry and needed to get XP32 working) and it seemed to have worked...but not really. I got a dual boot alright but now the XP32 works and the XP64 doesn't. When I select XP64 I get the following message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe please reinstall a copy of the above file I'm not even sure where I would find this file to copy. Yeah, I know that I should know but I just don't. When I try to start from the XP64 CD, I end up on a C:\WINDOWS> prompt with little indication as to what to do. The machine works fine on XP32 but I would like to get my XP64 back. Anyone, anyone? Thanks, Diego Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39771

    - 32 bit Windows 2003 Server on x64 processor I probably have to return my new machine tomorrow, but I'm trying to figure this out. We got a new machine, and because of miscommunications, it came with a 64 bit version of the Intel DUAL Core P4. I didn't want that. In any case, the vendor install installed Windows 2003 Standard Server R1 and on the two CDs it says X64 Edition. Well, I can't use to because I must install a PCI Card that only supports 32 bit drivers. The OS did not recognize them. So my question is, does this Windows 2003 Standard Server R1 with 2 CD's allow me to install the regular 32 bit version of Windows 2003 standard server? Will CD installer ask me if I want 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows? The info at Microsoft, the readme and help isn't very clear with this complex version of Windows 2003 edition. I probably won't have a choice if tomorrow I find out the PCI card will not work with the 64 bit CPU or bus hardware, regardless of the OS, but if I all need to do is reinstall with the 32 bit version of Window 2003, then I will that route rather then return the machine tomorrow to replace it with a 32 bit CPU instead. Thanks for any info you can provide me with. --- HLS Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39770

    - Diskeeper 2007. Diskeeper 2007 was released today. Vista isn't supported yet but x64 is. I tested the beta with good results. I prefer the Professional-Premier version but my budget went with the Professional version. New features include an automatic defragmentation of all partitions during idle time which has no effect on system efficiency. The boot-time defragmentation doesn't corrupt Vista partitions.

    - 4 GB Memory not Recognised On Windows Server 2003 x64bit OS with 3GB memory - 2x 1GB and 2 x 512MB. I replaced the 2 x 512MB with 2 x 1GB, therefore the system now has 4 x 1GB = total 4GB. The bios see it as 4GB but Windows x64bit see it as 3.5 GB. When I put them in pairs, both pairs in Windows report 2GB but when I place all 4 it reports 3.5. Hope that explanation makes sense. Do I need to place the /3GB /PAE switch in the boot.ini? I thought the x64bit sorted out the memory allocation issue? Have you seen this before? Do you think itâ??s a memory, PC H/W or a Server x64bit issue? Thanks in advance. Regards, Firdous Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39708

    - Devmgr.dll Having problems with this guy. I am running GDB of MingW on x64. It runs until it tries to debug an executable. Then I get "Error: dll starting at 0x78d41000 not found." Dependency Walker states that everything is ok, but devmgr.dll. It states that it is an AMD64 build (I am on Opteron). All others are x86. I think what happened is that the 64-bit version of devmgr got stuck in the System32 folder instead of the SysWOW64. Of course I can't change it as Windows will restore devmgr as soon as I try to substitute an earlier version. Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39699

    - XP for IA64 ... where to get it? My TAM tells me that I need to get it from the OEM of the machine I am going to run it on. I think thats crap. We have such an obsene select agreement with MS, that if the bits can be had, we should be able to get them. So I won this crazy auction for a dual itanium workstation, and I really dont think that IBM is going to send me media. Unless I can use a key from Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for IA64, I gotta come up with something. Hell, I might just install Enterprise on this thing and call it a day. But, I would prefer not to. Thoughts or suggestions ? - NuTs Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39679

    - OT: New laptop! And Dynamic stiping question Many of you know I've been considering a laptop for quite some time. Finally bought an HP Pavilion dv9000, Core2 Duo T5500, 2gb DDR2 RAM, 2 x 100gb SATA drives, GeForce Go 7600 256mb dedicated vid card, 17" wide screen and TV tuner card, 1000mbps network card, wireles NIC as well. Costco, $1,500! Yay! I'll think I'll leave XP Media Edition on until Vista x64 is released. Now that I'm done bragging, I do have a question. I already asked this in microsoft.public.storage, but got no response, you you are the lucky guys and gals today. I have two Fujitsu 100gb HDDs. Has anyone converted their disks to Dynamic and striped their drives, basically running software RAID0? Any feedback for me? I've moved much of my data to the laptop and access that from my other two workstations, so increased throughput would be nice. Going from U320 SCSI RAID0 to this was definitely a hit in performance, so I would consider it if it does really improve throughput. The HDDs are Fujitsu MHV2100BH, and are SATA not IDE. Here are the drive specs: http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/storage/hdd/mobile/mhv2120bh-sata.html I'm not concerned about redundancy and running RAID0. I back up daily on DAT from my main workstation. I will opt for performance over redundancy in my case. And as a second part of that, I would think that battery consumption would go up since both drives are spinning up each call to disk. Am I right in that assumption? Give me some feedback and comments my geek bruthas... -Larry Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39666

    - Dangers of occular diabetes fom Vista Vista is so full of totally unnecessary eye-candy and fat that any user is in grave danger of developing ocular diabetes. One can see that the tendency to enlarge portions in Burger King and MacDonald's products has been adopted in full by Microsoft too. Using MacDonald's or Burger King makes a fat ass. Using Vista would make one a fat ass too. Microsoft takes the cake for coming up with this bloated OS. Might very well be its Titanic. :-) Live long and prosper.

    - Dropped OS SATA Drive I am using an Asus AN8-SLI Deluxe motherboard. C:\ & D:\ drives are Western Digital Raptors 10,000 rpm units. E:\ & F:\ are Western Digital & Maxtor 7500 rpm drives. All drives are SATA based and use new lock on connectors. None are setup for RAID configuration. Okay, here is my problem. Every few weeks my C:\ drive is not found and is missing from the bios listing. On other occasions all drives are shown in the bios but my OS is not found. Sometimes, after the machine has been running for a while, everything is lost and it reports that it cannot write to the drive. All the other drives are always available, only the C:\ drive gets dropped. I have run all tests on the C:\ drive using a WD test and everything comes back positive without any errors. The temporary cure is to disconnect D.C. to the other three drives, check all connects, reboot at which time the C:\ is found and Windows XP Pro. 64 bit OS loads without any errors like nothing was ever wrong. What am I doing wrong here? I have never knowingly loaded any SATA drivers, are these required without RAID configuration? I donâ??t have any errors showing in Device Manager. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39605

The default memory for Vista is 512MB so change that to 1024MB if you have the ram. The VPC 2007 emulated cd/dvd drive now supports a full 4.2GB dvd image file so just drop the .iso on the drive icon and go.

    - Dare I triple boot? Okay, I've installed RC2 on a machine at home and one at work. Old P4s with half a gig of memory. Just playing around. Now I'd like to dual boot with XP at home on my new X2 machine, but lingering fears of angry phone calls from the missus ("Hey, this stupid machine you built isn't working right...") makes me wary. I just got another 15K SCSI drive and thought it might be a chance to add it to my work rig, which is XP / XP 64 bit. Then I could put RC2 on that and triple boot and really test it out. Charlie posted a link to his dual boot guide, but I can't find it. How well does 5744 play in a triple boot situation? I can't afford a system meltdown, but as long as x86 or 64 bit XP remains intact I'm willing to take the chance with Vista. Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39540

    - Dual boot rc1 & rc2 After unsuccessfully tried to upgrade Vista x64 5600 to 5728 and/or 5744 I wonder if I can leave rc1 as it is and install rc2 on a separate partition. Problem is that upgrade fails in the last part of the last stage, either installing from a DVD or HD (both 5728 and 5744). Maybe there is some offending program/driver installed that doesn't allow me to complete the upgrade. Bottom line: Dual boot rc1&rc2, is it possible? Carlos Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39535

    - XP x64 fails to fully Install Have two full versions of XP x64 (one M/S - other OEM) the results of changing HDs, during the last year or so, I have re-installed each version several times without conflicts. Today, when performing a "Clean" Install, suddenly receive same error message from each version: System can not start because -- \windows\system32\config\system -- is missing or corrupt, try using Repair Console from CD; tried R Console several times without success. Also, tried re-format and then re-installing several times, receive the same above message from each CD version. Additionally, have one full version XP Pro x86 CD that's been installed more than once and it refuses to Install with the exact same above error message. The CDs are clean, no scratches, what is causing the not-install trouble and/or missing- \windows\system32\config\system ?? -- Firewall Tag: dual boot 32/64 Tag: 39531

I'm building a dual boot system I hope, based on raid 0 150gig raptors (1
array) to share 32 & 64 bit os. The primary os is xp 32bit pro. Does putting
both os's on the same drive (array) cause any problems? should i split the
drives, one per os?

Putting both drives on the same array will not cause problems, but you must
have one partition for each OS.

They must be on separate partitions. And do the 32-bit first.
For more on dual and multiple boot scenarios with x64 Edition (or any
others, actually), you might find the detailed blog I did on this of
interest and use.
