I tried installing with just one 2gb stick and it didnt work -- tomer

Can you rewrite your posting of what you are trying to do. You are installing Vista Ultimate x64 over XP Pro x64 SP2? I would recommend either adding a second hard drive to dual boot or backup and do a clean install. What are you using the 2GB stick for? -- SCSIraidGURU Michael A.

No no you got me wrong, I'm not installing it over xp i'm installing it instead of XP you know from BIOS 1st boot device and stuff, and what I tried to do was remove one of my 2GB ram sticks and tried to install vista with just one 2GB ram stick connected(I saw it in another forum) but it didnt work. And basicly it all goes well(although slow) but everything works up untill I get to Expanding Files and then its like 1% per hour -- tomer

Did you remove everything from the drive before installing? I would reset your CMOS to default. Check the connections on your hard drive. Get the latest BIOS rev. Reduce RAM to 1-2 sticks. -- SCSIraidGURU Michael A. McKenney 'www.SCSIraidGURU.com' (http://www.SCSIraidGURU.com)

Are you reformatting the partition you are trying to install in as part of
the install? How big is the partition? Are there any other partitions with operating systems installed on the drive? Is your MOBO BIOS up to date? Is your SATA controller built into your MOBO?

Well I did everything you said and in the CMOS the only option I saw was to load optimized settings, nothing about default so I chose that but it didnt work. P.S. I installed Windows XP PRO SP2 x32 to see what the Vista upgrade advisor has to say, and By diconnecting everything from the drive did you mean all the physical connections??(If so thats what I did except for the Screen, Mouse and keyboard). Someone please help me install that damn vista!!!! -- tomer
