You are now ready to download and make a BING CD. There is a 4 week trial period. double click makedisk.exe, next dot in I accept the agreement, next no tick for Registration, Color or UDMA, next dot in Mouse Support Enabled, next dot in VESA Video, next dot in Normal, next don't choose any Default Device Options (if necessary, these can be chosen in BING), next leave Registration strings blank, next select your CD burner drive letter (you can use a CD-RW or a CD-R disc) Finish Boot from the BING CD and resize your Vista partition to 150000 MB. Vista should be on HD 0. Let me know if it isn't. There is a video on Resizing. When the CD first boots, click Cancel on the first window as you don't want to install yet. Then click OK on the notice. After Vista has been resized, boot from the BING CD again and install BING as outline in the video. This will create an 8 MB partition at the end of the 600 GB HD. Let me know when this has been done. |
