Hello all,

I tried the steps outlined here for installing vista and it all worked fine (thanks, they they are truly great instructions!) up until the point where I relocated the winsxs directory. When rebooted the machine BSOD's with a critical kernel error. It will however boot in safe mode.

Windows update also doesn't work if moved and then linked to.

My winsxs folder is now winsxs.moved and junctioned, its just that I can only junction to directories on the internal ssd. I have the feeling that its a permissions error but I can't seem to work out how or why, both directories on the sd are set to be fully controlled by everyone.

Its possible that I removed something using vLite that I shouldn't, but I didn't edit anything that explicitly mentioned permissions...

If anyone could offer any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated!



exactly the same problem i'm running into at the moment... tought it was my sd reader at first...
just for fun, something my EEE+vista is dooing... upon renaming winsxs to *insert anything* and reboot... i get a bsod, but the reboot after that works perfectly again... hehehe... ive came to think that the moving part had actually worked.. but reality is that its still using the renamed winsxs on the SSD sad.gif

How can vLite remove this limitation. I am still stuck on this check.

Thanks.



I used the newest vlite... and didnt run into any checks... maybe check the "removal list" and see if theres a memorycheck in there?

@iakudi: rightclick, properties, security, advanced, owner....

3 tries so far, and 2 tries ended up in BSOD....
3rd try I couldnt even delete winsxs.moved anymore *still 1gb left* and d:\windows\winsxs was 1.26.

dont even know anymore what is used of what... so now im gonna reinstall... and try to use movefile to move from c to d smile.gif
*basically skipping the .moved part, and just straight moving to d*

>>

- command prompt, 'mkdir d:\windows\winsxs'
- 'mklink /J c:\windows\winsxs.link d:\windows\winsxs'
- 'rmdir d:\windows\winsxs.moved'
- 'movefile c:\windows\winsxs d:\windows\winsxs'
- 'movefile c:\windows\winsxs.link c:\windows\winsxs'.

is what im gonna try... *wish me luck*

With Vista
so far it looks like my battery can last a full 3.5 hours, havent exactly timed it, but by estimation of using it as a "chatconsole" it lasted about 3.something hours and was on 7% battery remaining....
I'm having little issues with charging thou tongue.gif or it could be normal, but it takes over 4 hours from 10% to 100%.....

I'm having a slight problem with Vista and my EEE 4g....
I keep having 1 unknown device in my device manager (windows update didn't fix this)
But I think the problem is, that everytime vista starts up, ACPI "crashes" and is to be terminated due to an error...
any toughts on this?

-edit: problem fixed
problem was i didnt run the ACPI install elevated as administrator.
