    Vista stupid slow on new machine

    I suggest you start from new, first turn off the computer and remove one of the 2gig ram chips. Do a format and reinstall as new, choose custom install to get to disk options so you can format or delete partition. Disconnect from internet, remove cable or whatever. Do not allow Windows...

    vista disc management question

    Vista does have tools for shrinking the drive but they are very limited in their ability. Acronis is good as stated in previous post, others like Gparted as a freebie but I havn't tried it.

    How to test Mobo's, CPU's question

    It's very rare for a CPU to be faulty unless damaged in some way, like broken pins or burnt out due to overheating. Once you have a known working motherboard and CPU and PSU, just swap out the parts you want to check.

    format slave to fat32

    First question comes to mind why Fat 32? next if you must have Fat 32 does it have to be the whole drive or would 1 or 2 partitions suffice? If the first question can be answered maybe someone can think of another solution.

    If you are doing an upgrade from within XP the SATA driver should not be a problem. This would appear to be a fairly new motherboard, check in in bios under hard drive manegment for option to auto detect SATA/PATA or run SATA in ATA compatability mode.

    Copying and Pasting takes ages

    I agree with vanquished cut & paste copy work much faster in Vista. I have been able to find Vista drivers for my Epson R230 printer & Vista found the HP F370.
