Changing your Partition Size

Some of the files you're interested in are on C:\Boot I believe. PM 8 was
known to have Problems with Vista early on in the Beta as far back as July
'05 when tons of Beta testers began to try to use in on Vista. I don't
think Symantec has updated it for Vista.

It's been my consistent experience watching Symantec who bought PM from
Power Quest and retained some personnel but runs the show, for years that
they will often wait until the last moment to update their software for a
new Operating System. Their behavior during SP2 and confusing people about
an update for Norton was classic I wouldn't expect them to make anything
for Vista compatibility until the last second or after Vista RTMs which I
believe will be later than a lot of people think.

I feel like I've been ripped off. I'm looking at my CD and it shows
folders with only 2-files in the root which are text files. Then the setup
folder is available to install. I cannot boot. I don't have a boot file
or Image file that contains the boot information. I would be interested in
knowing what files are on your root CD that causes it to boot from the CD.
Maybe it's just a batch file? I would like to know?
Thanks

Chad,

PM is a bootable CD. You make the CD first in boot priority and boot to the
CD and then run PM
 
JCO--

Alter that belief. I know for a fact that it is not the same and has been
reworked and updated by different Vista teams. Some of this personal
communication a while back, and I will look for more docunmentation if I
have time.

Enjoy.

Transactional NTFS allows for files and directories to be created, renamed,
and deleted transactionally.

Transactional NTFS
Transactional NTFS (abbreviated TxF) brings the concept of atomic
transactions to the NTFS file system, allowing Windows application
developers to write file output routines that are guaranteed to either
completely succeed or completely fail.

Transactional NTFS is implemented on top of the Kernel Transaction Manager
(KTM), which is a Windows kernel component first introduced in Windows Vista
that provides transactioning of objects in the kernel. The NTFS file system
already supports journaling of low-level operations, such as writing a block
of data. Transactional NTFS expands on this capability to include:

To me JCO the term "updated NTFS" means something that has changed and been,
well, updated. How about you?

Vista's new Transactional File System whith Charles Torre. TxF, as it is
referred to internally, is a new kernel construct that is part of an updated
Vista NTFS."
