Severe issues with Asus P5WD2-E motherboard
Hi,
I have been trying desperately to install Vista Ultimate 32 on my Asus P5WD2-E Premium mobo currently running WinXP Pro. I got two hard drives configured as a RAID1 on the Intel ICH7R controller. The RAID drive is divided into two partitions with one of them holding the OS. I did the installation as a custom install and used a driver floppy with the latest Intel RAID drivers (6.2.1.1002). My bios version is 0604 Installation runs pretty smoothly all the way to the reboot. Then I get the startup progress "cyclops" but after that the screen just goes black. It does not reboot or give me bsod. It just does not go any further... There are plenty of people on the web reporting the same problem. I have tried to contact all companies involved but to no avail: -Asus is pointing fingers at Intel. The are also not planning on certifying the mobo for Vista any time soon. -Intel is pointing fingers at Micorosoft and claim that they have tested the drivers in their "laboratory" without any issues. -Microsoft does not point any fingers (so far) Anyone with the same problem or a solution?
