BTW: Vista can also load the drivers from any other supported HD so a USB external HD should also work Ultimate Boot Cd - black screen with a curser Linux Boot CD (Back Track 3) - boots fine from cd and can view/access partitions BartVistaPE - black screen with a curser BartPE(XP) - Boots Fine (cant access partitions) Vista Recovery DVD - black screen with a curser Xp REcovery DVD - works but cant find install (just to test if it worked not to recover) any vista based software will not work it just produces a black screen with a curser but Xp does work does anyone have an idea as to what to try next. -- steve42000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steve42000's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/steve42000.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-set...ll/1056847.htm http://forums.techarena.in
