I have noticed overt the past few weeks that the Wordpress spam filter is going crazy marking everything as spam - even though many of the comments are legit.

Yesterday I helped my girlfriend upgrade her Toshiba Portege M400 from Windows XP to Windows Vista.  We stuck the Vista CD in the drive and booted up.  The computer recognized the CD and brought us into the setup program.

Unfortunately - Vista did not recognize her RAID driver.  Consequently, it didn’t see her hard drive.  We stopped by Toshiba’s support site and got the file.  Their instructions said to put the file on a USB drive and then point the Vista install to it…we did just that.

Unfortunately - after browsing to the USB drive location Vista failed to find the driver - their instructions were wrong.  We rebooted into Windows XP.  We tried extracting the file by double clicking it.

Unfortunately - it just opened the installer, and tried installing the Vista driver on to Windows XP…not cool.  luckily, Windows XP still worked.  Once we got back into XP we installed WinRar.

Fortunately - Winrar allowed us to extract the files (without launching the installer).  We extracted the driver files onto the USB drive and rebooted into the Vista installer.  Once we pointed the installer to the extracted files everything worked well.

We decided to eliminate the recovery partition since she ordered a recovery disk from Toshiba.  We used the Vista partition manager to delete both partitions that were on the machine.  We then created a single partition with all of the disk - we gained about 7 GB of storage.

To finish off the install we went through all of the driver and utilities that were available on the driver site and then ran Windows Update a few times.  Everything seems to be working as good or better than in XP aside from the fact that it keeps asking us to install Microsoft’s Malicious Software Removal Tool...but that is a battle for another day.

Hopefully this helps someone out there - if you have any questions just leave us a comment!
