alright, i'm sure it has been asked. didn't see it. I'm having to buy a new laptop, as guess what.... my screen/hinge assembly on this laptop I have is broken and its slowly dieing. I swear they only make laptops to last right out of warranty. (2 years)

my new rig will have windows vista home premium 64bit, and I will be installing all of my software to it including efi live. it is actually quite a good machine, and I heard the majority of the glitches with vista is that people installed xp drivers on it isntead of vista drivers...which no one had vista drivers yet.. so there wasn't a choice.


any input? or problems with efi live?

Been running EFILive on my Vista Ultimate x64 machine for about 10 months now. Just install EFI like you normally would and plug in your FlashScan. Windows will get the drivers setup properly.

No, it doesn't matter.

Be sure to be logged in as an administrator when installing EFILive (or any software).
