Why not just boot the laptop with a usb install of backtrack this way you can get access to the tools and be bale to save you info.

Or install vmware on vista and install a version of linux within that

Subject: Pentesting using Vista?

Hi all,

Does anyone ever used Windows Vista for pen-testing/security assessment?

I just got a new laptop from company that seems to have many

compatibility issues with linux distributions and miss some drivers

for XP.

Thanks,

Leo
