I've been using Windows XP for about 6 years. Good and bad... I think I
must've reinstalled about 9 times, mostly track back to fiddling too much
with disabling services to tweak the system to run faster, and system
upgrade, CPU, motherboard and hard drive.
One of the things I played around with was Disk Management and tagged main
partition as Dynamic from Basic. It didn't do anything, I read up on it and
it suppose to be used for mirroring and striping or spanning.
I already had Intel RAID setup, so I didn't need it. Unfortunately, when I
started installing Vista on my machine, it would get as far as copying files
over and start rebooting. Vista does not like being installed on a Dynamic
drive. I had to reboot a few times and I thought it was a problem with the
Intel RAID driver. Vista has Intel RAID drivers 6.2. The latest driver I
check on Intel was 6.2.1. I was browsing the web when I finally found a
solution. It was a article on a way to hack a Dynamic disk back to Basic.
I found a better way to change partition type, use one of those Linux
bootable CD. Once you get to the prompt, you can use Linux FDISK to type
the partition instead of hacking it with Disk Probe.
Vista is slow, there is so much disk activity. It does a lot of Indexing.
Good luck on every ones installation.
