One question regarding Vista: I guess Vista Home Basic is good enough to start with for XX? Or I need some other Vista flavor?
Just got both HP and Basic, therefore before starting to install and tweak, would like some feedback.

Another thing: which service pack is needed: SP1, SP2 or none at all? (I want to make a solid (for XX) system and want to do it once)

Careful : There's one topic or post floating around in here (or maybe it was an email, I don't know) about Home Basic not working. And as far as I recall I never heard it was solved.

I'm using SP1 and am OK with it. I wouldn't go without SP (quite some wrongish things in there).

OK, then I will go with Vista HP.

BTW, after installing Vista (I plan to vlite it first) when in Device Manager you uninstall some unneeded device, does it get installed back automatically on next reboot? If yes then how to make it not to install back automatically?

There are two ways that immediately come to mind to achieve what you want. Firstly, if initially prompted to install a driver for something you don't want to use (for example the onboard ethernet feature that you choose to leave enabled in the BIOS due to running a dual boot environment ), then choose the option that says "do not install at this time" and "do not prompt again for this device" ( or words to that effect. Going on memory here! ).

Second way is simply to choose the "disable" option when right clicking on an entry in the device manager. That should stay intact across reboots OK.

Give it a try.

Cheers,

Russ

Thanks Russ, I will try to do so.

Regarding Vista: is having SP2 is OK? or SP1 is better?

Also Peter, can you remind the link to the post of XX requirements? Want to check before start vliting everything out of it.

I have the day off tomorrow and am planning to create a vlite version also.

I'm running SP2 on my Vista Ult X64 music system and haven't noticed anything to make me think it's an issue.

Ivo,

Put Shut Off UAC on top of your list.

Don't forget to reserve some space (like 10GB) on the OS partition for Galleries for a couple of 1000 albums, might you (ever) use them.

I don't know much more right away what you won't already know.

Good luck with it !
Peter

So, working with Vista HP SP2 via vlite. It seems I cut off too much, as even the installation failed Happy

I thought maybe those from you who have vlited Vistas can post here the "Last session.ini" file. So, we can apply it for our own Vistas, ah? Or at least take look at it.

If you followed instructions from my post then it's more likely vLite simply does not work with SP2.
But here's my .ini file so you can check...

I don't see how it wouldn't work for with Vista SP2 - it certainly works with W2008 SP2.

OK, I am off. Cannot solve no way.

My Vista installation from USB stick fails with the error:

"Windows cannot copy files required for installation. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x80070070."


Tried full Vista SP1 and SP2 as well as vlited, all the same. At some 3% pops up error and finita la comedia.

Someone knows something? Cannot find anything useful in forums. Also I have no DVD drive.
