Bink.nu was just at a session on Integrity in Windows Vista from Steve Riley. "This security guy from Microsoft is always great to listen to. He talked about Bitlocker (hard drive encryption), Mandatory Integrity Checker and how IE7 behaves on Vista", mentions Bink.nu.

Also mentioned was that the goal of Bitlocker is to protect the OS, not the user's data, when your data is on the same partition as the OS your lucky. Through the bitlocker UI it is not possible to encrypt a separate data partition, with the commandline tool you can though.

I recently acquired vista the other day and when I went to install it(clean install on 2nd partition), it told me that it could not identify any of my hard disks. I have a SATA Raid 0 config on an nForce3 ultra mobo and from what I can see, I havent been able to find any drivers or news releases from MSI or nVidia saying what can be done about this sort of situation.

I read somewhere else however that you may be able to manually load the drivers through an upgrade install while in windows but when I put my DVD in that I burned I get no autorun or anything prompting me to upgrade or install or anything.

Any help would be monumental for my self esteem. **** you M$!!!

on the vista partitioning page. it has the option to load driver. click it to load your sata driver, which you should have a floppy for

Laser i can tell you right now i know what the problem is.

It is the nForce 3 RAID Config. Vista doesnt recognize it. Vista has a issue with nForce boards as it is but add RAID config and you are out of luck. Vista doesnt support RAID as of yet.

How would I set it up on a different partition?

Mentali$T · 06-14-2006, 04:59 PM

Download a free trial of Partition Magic. Create a partition atleast 20Gb big. (make it logical, its as default anyway) then apply changes. When you reboot it will be there as 2 hdd's.
Copy vista to a dvd and boot from it. Then choose fresh install and select the partiiton you just made.

Back up your data before doing using partition magic.

And yes, I can't use Daemon tools to load 64bit Vista from 32bit XP.

Dont install within XP! It wont work, when it tries to install after rebooting just after entering the serial number it will say couldnt load image or sumthing like that. It happened to me and another guy that mentioned it above. Just burn it to a dvd and boot from it. Or are you the person that said they didnt have a dvd burner? If so can you get a mate to do it?
