Hi,

Where can I post a question regarding Windows Vista Home Premium?

I believe that my question is simple . . .

Does Windows Vista Home Premium software have a partitioning utility?

I wish to partition a 320GB drive and Norton PartitionMagic is not
compatible (according to Prashanta.Kumar of their tech support department in
some other country).

Thanks,

Grant

Hi Grant,

Vista Home Premium does not have a partitioning application that can be used
from the desktop but, just like Windows XP you can partition your hard
drives when you perform the initial install and should also be able
partition other connected drives using the same procedure even after
installing the OS although it will destroy all data on the drive in
question.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your recommendation, Mike.

I did visit the ACRONIS website and discovered that one page states DD10 is
supported, another says nothing about VISTA. Accordingly, I emailed ACRONIS
asking for confirmation and or clarification. I will post their reply once
received.

Till then, thanks again!!

Run PartitionMagic from bootable media. Vista doesn't get a chance to
prevent it from running.

Vista has a problem with partitions created by PM, so it's not just an issue
of whether it will run under Vista. Don't use PM for Vista partitions until
they release a version that is Vista compatible.
 
for shame you failed to issue a virtual spanking for failing to post to a vista news group.

are you finally learning it is more important to provide help.

With my ever increasing catalogue of Vista problems, this comes as no
surprise - though I don't fully understand why.
 
If anyone deserves a spanking, it's you. You should not be posting in
anything other than plain text. Not every news reader works with rich text
or HTML

You need a new newsreader. Time marches on. Not many use a typewriter
anymore. It's time to spruce up the old newsgroups with some nice text,
pictures, etc.

Can't wait.

You apparently can't read or comprehend the simplest concepts. Perhaps
it's time to park your keyboard and find something else to do with your
free time.
 
just for your limited mental capacity to understand
html has always been welcome in MICROSOFT news groups.

Whether or not HTML is welcome is rather a moot point, since anyone
concerned with on line security reads news (and mail) in text-only.
 
then maybe you should learn how to configure/control your computer to be able to read in the format of your choice.
or go play jacks.

Even for those of us who use a newsreader that *can* render html, many
of us choose to turn the facility off, because of the risk of the html
carrying malware.

Besides, most of us here are interested in content, not form. HTML
does nothing useful for me in Newsgroup postings.

My experience with Vista has been good, and btw, my catalog of problems with
XP is quite extensive.

Why would this surprise you? Vista is a new OS, PM is legacy software.
System level utilities are frequently in this kind of situation. They need
to be updated for the new OS.
