Building a New System
Booting to Vista DVD. No dual boot. Guess I could look around for an updated
iastor.inf, etc. Thanks, Lang "Chad Harris" wrote in message ... Lang are you dual booting and launching Vista setup from XP or are you launching setup from the Vista DVD after restart? CH "Lang Murphy" wrote in message ... Ah... tried installing 5536 on my Dell XPS Gen 2 again and got the BSOD after providing the SATA controller driver. So I guess I'll be running 5472 on that seat until a new build that doesn't BSOD during setup arrives. Lang "Lang Murphy" wrote in message ... Oops... I must have "disremembered" my 5472 install because I just tried installing 5536 on my Dell XPS Gen 2 and not only did it need the SATA controller driver, but it, Vista Setup, BSOD'd after I provided the driver. Nice. It's a new feature. Lang "Lang Murphy" wrote in message ... You have to provide the SATA -controller- driver during install. Which build are you trying to install? I had to provide the SATA controller driver in 5384 but 5472 had the driver, so I didn't have to provide the driver when I installed 5472. Of course we may have different SATA controllers. Lang "Charles Harris" wrote in message ... MSI K9N Platinum, AMD 64 X2 4600 cpu, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, DVD drive, WD 250GB SATA 16MB cache HD Geforce 7600. Vista will not install on this system at all. I've tried installing to a blank formatted drive. Installing XP SP2 and upgrading no luck. Vista won't install on the SATA drive. I'm wondering if I should just wait for RC-1 |
