silver Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I have a licensed version of every EMC since Adaptec 3.X. What would be the last version that would install and run under Windows 2000 Pro SP2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golinux Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Actually, it is tough to run Vista on Vista. If it runs at all! Talked to a friend this morning. He recently bought a Vista loaded computer and HATES it. I suggested he return it with the reason of having an unacceptable/unusable OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I don't have any problems with Vista itself but I there are problems with drivers and applications. It's caused me to re-think the option of migrating to Linux a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say though that he wished he'd shelled out a few more bucks and gone for a Mac. He said this would be his last Windoze system. I suggested he get a copy of XP and nuke Vista.

It's caused me to re-think the option of migrating to Linux a couple of times. I dual boot between XP and Gentoo Linux. The Linux system is very happy running everything in 64 bit mode, never bsods, never has driver problems. Only reason I keep MS on here is there are a couple of leisure type apps that I just can't get to work (and there's no equivalent unfortunately). I suppose I could run them under VMWare, but I never trusted emulation layers to any great extent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrewst Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I think V7.5 may be the last version to run on SP2.According to the System Requirements V8 & 9 need to have SP4 to run. Actually,after looking in the Knowledge Base it says V7 also needs SP4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks Larry.I see that now after another trip to the KB. Thanks to you both. I'll give v.6 a try next week when I get around to reprogramming my system. Setting up as a multi-boot with Win2K, XP and Vista on a 160GB drive with all data files on a separate drive.

tbrewst Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Just keep in mind you cannot run V6 on Vista.V9 is the first one that will attempt to run on Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
