Question

Hi

i've been using RC2 with no issues at all... od course i downloaded MSDN's Vista at 12:01 last night, but when tryinf to install here is the error

Windows cannot be installed on this computer with the current system BIOS version. Contact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS update, install the update, and then start Windows installation again. OEM Name: Dell Inc.; OEM Model: Latitude D620 ; BIOS Version: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A02; BIOS Date: 20060411000000.000000+000

of course there are no drivers for Vista from Dell.... what to do

Do as it says and upgrade the BIOS.   A05 Enhancements ------------ 1. Added support for Microsoft Windows Vista.

Hi First, A05 is for XP. But... i did it anyway, took me all day because the flash program didnt work on either XP or Vista. I had to Boot on DOS to install it   So here I am using VISTA  yeahhhhh
