Bruce Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I didn't say it was better... I'm still testing it and so far I like it. Everything that I use works quite well for me and I'm not about to tell you all of my apps Ssssssssshh, it's a secret Link to post Share on other sites
KRAM Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I don't think Windows 7 has that option. I know Vista does. Yes you are correct for this on the Beta, I pointed that out in my first post. Silly me Not sure if it will be left out on the Final Release version. I should have thought about that, but I'm just used to telling people the other way as to make sure they get elevated Administrator mode. Link to post Share on other sites

Jacee Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 According to this article: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/e...a71033.mspx#EFB (click on 'show all') You cannot reformat a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows. This is a safety feature so that you cannot delete Windows by accident Link to post Share on other sites
Maxst2 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I got a new toy thanks for the heads up bruce! Link to post Share on other sites

Maxst2 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 yup... 1016$ after tax. Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Very nice. I can't remember in all my years of building computers (first one in 1984) of being as happy with a computer as I am with this laptop. Link to post Share on other sites
Maxst2 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The fun really begins once I get my second drive this weekend... lil raid0 action for the laptop. I love the blue lights on the lid... i could do without the one around the touch pad though. My old laptop was well used...so I had that layout memorized... being a completely different keyboard(full size with 10key) typing is a pain! I might put up windows 7 on it... but not too sure yet... maybe in a VM box. It's got the power to do it. Link to post Share on other sites

duanester Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 has anyone gotten any bsod's yet ? also has anyone run SSD tests ? Link to post Share on other sites
Jacee Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've had two. Both times with SuperAntiSpyware .... once trying to open the program and the second one when trying to uninstall the program! It's a no go for me, even in safe mode Gotta get this one figured out!

KRAM Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Check if superantispyware is running any services and stop them before you try to uninstall it. Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 has anyone gotten any bsod's yet ? I've had two. Gotta get this one figured out! All systems normal, full steam ahead, it's ready for Microsoft Gold release Link to post Share on other sites
PORTHOS Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've had two. Both times with SuperAntiSpyware .... once trying to open the program and the second one when trying to uninstall the program! It's a no go for me, even in safe mode Gotta get this one figured out! Are you running 64 or 32bit? Link to post Share on other sites
Jacee Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 32bit, and I did manage to uninstall. I'm going to re-install SuperAntispyware Pro and see where I sit now. Hate to pay for a program that may cause trouble in future releases! Link to post Share on other sites
leprechanmonkie Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ive had a few hard locks on this 64 bit install. its something to do with Azurues and WMC though, when those two are running at the same time, crazy things can happen. Is anyone else using kasperskys free windows 7 AV, works pretty good! Link to post Share on other sites
Jacee Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm using Avira Premium Security Suite. Link to post Share on other sites
terry1966 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) has anyone gotten any bsod's yet ? yes 2 1 everytime i try to open the folding gpu display and the other after a 2nd install of windows 7 and avg8. i can't get avg8 to run this time for some reason so when i tried to uninstall it i got the bsod. but must admit it seems to work great usually and i do like it so will definetly be something i'll run in vm with linux might even buy a copy instead of using this beta.

terry1966 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) well no idea what i've done then but with windows 7 and the new ie8 all i got was a grey screen after 40mins. edit:- come to think of it i remember denying ie8's web page compatibility or something like that when it first started. might be that.

Kenny3 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 got windows 7 beta working on a old P4 P2.8 with hyperthreading with 768mb of ram. and I must say is is very responsive. I don't think vista would have worked this well on this PC. so far im rather impressed Link to post Share on other sites
