Vista - Recording on Vista

i bought a laptop with Vista and i cannot install my mbox2, i went and bought
an xp professional disc and it wont install because of a problem with the
hard disk...i need to know what i can do to get this working on my laptop

This isn't really an answer to your question, but as an aside, I saw that
Mbox 2 is not compatible with Vista as well. I returned it to the store and
got a Presonus FireBox instead. It works very well with Vista--and it's a
LOT cheaper. The audio quality is amazing, and the free Cubase software
works quite well. I'm very happy with the solution, and I saved a bunch of
money in the process. :-).

In my (somewhat limited) experience, the Firebox is excellent. You can use
ProTools or any other software with it, but it comes with Cubase, and I've
been using that to record my band's practice sessions for the past couple of
weeks. Personally, I recommend it.
