I need some help. I purchased a brand new computer thru E-Bay. I bought it
with Vista Home Premium. I am a musician and use Sonar 5 for my music.
However, I find that Vista is not compatible with Sonar 5. Major expense and
major bummer. My system latency is horrible and live recording has become a
disaster. This is after several efforts to make the systems compatible.
However, my old XP worked great with Sonar 5. I have now spent 2 days trying
to uninstall Vista and I can tell you I am so ...frustrated...
I read the suggestions from
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html
and they worked up until I booted XP from the CD ROM. It loaded all the
files but did not identiy the any disk drive or partitions. When I pressed
ENTER to install XP, it said it could not find the disk drive and Quit the
installation. So, Vista is somehow hiding my disk drive from XP. My next
thought was to delete all files from C: using format c: from the
Administrator.cmd.exe but I am concerned that it will destroy the NTFS
format. So, I need some help..
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
