**koze**

Because it uses the BIOS setting for it while in safe mode.

If it loads no drivers, then how am I able to use my other 2 HDDs?

Seems to me the Chipset isn't workin 100% (drivers) and not reporting
corrcet to Vista.
In safe mode there are no drivers loaded.

I tried that program too, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Other helpful info:
I just put all my computer stuff into a new case, and got a new CPU
fan.
Windows started, crashed twice, and I booted into Safe mode. In Safe
mode
everything worked fine, and when I rebooted into normal mode is when I
had
these problems.
The DVD/CD drive appears like it should in the Device Manager, but not
in
My
Computer and there's also an unknown DVD drive in Device Manager.
Both the HDD and DVD/CD drive appear fine in the BIOS.
I'm back in Safe Mode, and the problems are still there.

Updates and that it failed to install the HDD drivers a bunch of
times.

Thanks for trying it. The big question is why the driver installation
failed. If you're up to a bit more detective work I strongly advise
using this great debugging tool:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...ssmonitor.mspx
(The download link is way at the bottom of the page.)

It requires no installation. Once you unzip it you can even run it
from
your Desktop if you want.

If I had your problem I would use it to monitor which directories
Vista
searches while looking for its driver files. It will also tell you
which Registry keys are accessed and more, if you want it to.

If I could reproduce the bug I probably could have found the answer by
now (

Thanks.
