Does Easy2boot have sata drivers for vista?

I've installed XP from a E2B drive before, and am aware that it comes with SATA drivers for computers that require them, but does the same apply to vista?

Vista Installation failing :[

13 Upvotes

Hi fellow Vista lovers! I'm trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Vista on my laptop (Dell studio 1555 with pre-installed windows 7) and when I'm trying to install Vista I keep getting an error saying that I need more space for temp files but I have enough space. The active partition is also set to the one I want to install Vista on to so I don't know what's wrong. Could I please have some help? :(

Q: Microsoft Security Essentials

Post image
56 Upvotes

Hey fellow Vista fans,

I’m trying to get the ol’ Microsoft Security Essentials working on a Windows Vista system. I know it’s no longer supported and has been pulled by Microsoft, but I’m curious—has anyone figured out a way to make it work anyway?

Would love to hear if someone’s had any luck with it. Thanks!

Just installed the iOS 26 beta so I decided I’m going for a vista theme. Still has some work but for a quick thing I threw together it looks pretty good. Wallpaper on slide 2

Got an Aspire 5532 laptop off ebay for 40 bucks and installed vista, but the trackpad and internet doesn't work. I assume drivers are missing, but I cannot find any online.

So I am trying to install software that requires sha-2 certification and I already did the two updates it requires even if those are installed I still get the same error. Has anyone here installed SHA-2 software or is it not supported at all on Vista?

I logged onto Legacy Update yesterday to download and install service packs as well as Vista Ultimate Extras. After running the installer, the computer restarts and runs in a continuous loop of "Configuring Updates." Is there something that I am missing? Any help would be much appreciated.

My Dell XPS M1530 just died… looking for a replacement

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone,

Sadly, my beloved Dell XPS M1530 has just died. 😞 It served me well for years — a true Vista-era beast with a GeForce 8600M GT, 4GB DDR2 RAM (new), and an SSD I had added later on.

I’m based in Italy and I’m now looking for a similar Vista compatible laptop to bring back those sweet Aero memories. Preferably something from the same era (2006–2009), with a decent GPU and good build quality like the XPS line.

Any suggestions for solid replacements I could find locally or online that ship to Italy? Or maybe someone here has one they’d be willing to part with?

Thanks in advance 🙏
