    hi, im having a little bit of a prob with quickplay i full format my hard drive deleting all partitions and i didnt knew that quickplay needed a partition to funtion... well know im with out quickplay but searching on torrents and emule i finaly got the quickplay direct 2.3 software.

    my question is how do i create that 1GB quickplay partition on windows vista?? is a FAT32 or NTFS partition?? how do i make my 1GB partition invisible like how it originaly came (ghost partition?)? any segestions of any good 3rd party partition tool for doing this??

    As far as anyone knows, quickplay booting from a different partition in Vista does not work. You need to use Quickplay 3 that came with the system, and that requires you to boot into Vista before quickplay will start.

    What OS are you using? QP on XP requires a separate partition and a QP boot software from HP support. On Vista, it installs like any other program and runs over Vista. On XP, You can use any partition manager software like partition magic, gparted etc to create the partitions. You also need the QP boot software from HP. This should be on the support webpages.
