Ok, first of all let me start by saying that im sorry if im starting a new thread that is it might be already somewhere, so for those administrators, im truely sorry, i looked and i couldnt find any. Well, i hope i can be help. I have already install in my computer Windows XP Pro and i just resize my main HDD to be capable of Dual Booting Vista Eternity Edition 2009. Now i can Dual Boot, no issues there, but here is the issues, i cant seem to be able to activate Vista. This edition of Vista already comes with a pre-installed Key so nothin i can do there. I have use many activator including Timestop and that one specifically did not work, all that i did was that it remove my actual 30days activation n force my Vista to activate right then and there. since i couldnt i have to reinstall. Now, know this, everytime i use an activator when it restarts the computer i get 2 different errors, BOOTMGR or VSTDAL (or however it spells) then i have to use the Vista DVD to repair my boot. Then once that is done, i get back to my Vista Desktop and it still have 30days to activate. Here are my specs of my computer (is my own custom build) MOBO: EVGA 780i Sli (132-CK-NF78-A1) CPU: Intel Q6700 2.67Ghz RAM: OZC 2GB 800Mhz (but soon receiving 4GB more) OS: XP Pro 32bit and Vista Eternity 2009 X64 HDD: 2 WD Caviar with a total of 1.4TB GPU: EVGA 260GTX SSC PSU: Ultra X-Pro 750Watts now i dont kno if you guys needed all that but i wanted everyone to know what i have. N by the way my BIOS is already up-to-date. So, what can it be done? Remember i installed Vista on an already XP Pro computer. I want to activate this version of Vista and be capable of Dual Booting. I dont want to keep trying different methods and keep getting errors, and i most say im liking Vista Eternity 2009 lots
