I've found a nice visual walkthrough for Vista installation here.

Additionally, post any tips for Vista installation here.

Thanks.

i like the new partitioner

Oh yeah, in case anyone is wondering why VirtualPC sound doesnt work in vista its because vista got rid of all ISA support and VirtualPC emulates an ISA soundblaster card. Also of note is the fact virtualPC will not boot the vista image itself

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

Try to play with the MBR(master boot record) of a HDD and you will find installing of a Vista quite boring. Heh, you won't install it, because Vista will write: You cannot install this OS on this disk, because it is a dynamic disc. But the main part is, that it won't let you format the HDD or anything else except exit from the installation.

Vista might be a total rip off of the Mac, but M$ will do w/e possible to make money:lol: ... even when I bought Ultimate from Future Shop, the salesperson kept on repeating on how its got a lot of features that the Mac has!

I found a couple things about the installation that have really irked me. The first is the computer performance check after the files are installed.

The second thing is the hard drive requirement. If you want to buy this OS, I wouldn't even consider installing it on a hard drive smaller than 120 gigs.
