If you have SATA hard drives enabled as RAID or as ACHI and you get the no OS found message from BIOS try switching to IDE mode. That issue constantly popped up on me in spite of my MB claiming it is Vista ready and me installing brand new just released Vista "ready" hard drive controller drivers. So for now I guess I'm stuck running in IDE mode, which in all fairness isn't that big a deal. |

It depends on your computer. Check your manual or MB manual if you build your own.

Right -- most of the time that's how I set up the BIOS -- avoids a lot
of install foolishness. I'm planning on building up a server this year -- came across a nice Promise SATA RAID card -- eight SATA ports (no this won't go in a Micro-ATX box), supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6. While, in theory one could use the drivers that come with the card to do a boot install, I'll not do that. First drive will be IDE connected to the motherboard. I'll do a 3 or 4 drive RAID 5 array for storage (mostly forensics image stuff). -- Barry Schnur |
