Hi!
I tried install Vista on my old laptop to CF card connected by CF to IDE2,5" adapter.
At installation it found no one device - Itried to load Windows 7 CF driver by Hitachi, but helped not.
Can anybody suggest me any driver for installation to CF card?
Other Q is about customization:
I want to change system font like it is possible in Windows 8. When I was using Windows 8 I changed system font to custom and I was satisfied.
Is it possible in Vista?
Thank you for each help, reply or comments.

I doubt Vista will recognise that device...What drivers shipped with it ?

Default on Vista DVD are not, I used drivers from diskette.
Q is - I'm now using Windows 10 - can Win10 driver help?

Nope

One importaant note:
CompactFlash was prepared on Windows 10 with two partitions: 5GB DOS FAT32 and rest NTFS.
Installed was DOS 7.10 - without any problem, also with Windows 3.11 (of course Windows that age was on-the-half GUI for DOS) - installation and access without problems.
Vista cannot recognize anything...
How is it possible?

Vista won't install to a CF Card unless the CF card identifies as a Fixed Disk, which very few do.
There is a program- something like "ATAFWCHG.COM" if I recall, which can be used to forcibly change the Mode of a CF Card. Personally I wasn't able to get it to work.

Ok, it looks like HDD also in popup boot menu after POST, but really it see CF not.
Ok, this part of post we can leave as unsolved.
Customization Q was:
Is possible to change Vista default font to other by my choice?
Thank you for all.
