I have a P4 3.6Ghz MCE PC; 1G RAM;500GB HDD;512mb Graphics and was wondering
the following; Would Vista Ultimate run on this spec and would I require a
clean install or purchase an upgrade. I also have a further 500Gb HDD
external and 200Gb external attached and Sky + box attached.

I was just wondering if the upgrade version would suffice and would MCE 2005
work better with vista.

Installing Vista Ultimate

I have a PC with a new disk. I boot from the Vista DVD and when the
installation
begins I can enter Product Key and start installlation. I use the advanced
installation.
When I select disk I get the message, Windows cannot be installed on a
dynamic disk.
I have formatted the disk in Win XP, and when I formatted it the first time
I had a selection
wheather the disk should be dynamic or not. How can I avoid this problem?

Hi,

I am just curious! Why would you want to choose dynamic disk in the first
place? Why not make it a fixed disk?

The only way to get a striped volume is to convert do a dynamic disx.
