Installing Vista Beta (5384)
- Installing Vista x86 under XP x86:
After copying and unpacking it makes it's (first) reboot. After displaying the bootmanager menu it automaticly picks Vista setup. Screen goes black and "ticks" (as in switching resolution probably) and there is some HDD usage for a couple of seconds (it doesn't spin the cd drive up). Few seconds later it reboots. This results in the same loop. - Installing Vista X86 via booting from the DVD: After the bar with loading files has filled up it goes black, ticks, hdd loads... and reboot. But then it gives an error message in the bootmanager: File: \$WINDOWS.~BT\Windows\system32\winload.exe Status: 0xc000000f Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt. - So what I've tried: * In both situations all options used in the F8 menu, but they all result in the same reboot * In both situations set my CPU and GPU at stock speeds (instead of overclocked). * In both situations turned off all onboard stuff (Lan, Audio, Firewire..) and removed unnecessary USB devices * Install via XP with and without installing the driver for my s-ata controller (975X 82801GR) * Install via XP with and without using the update option during the install. * Install via XP selecting different partitions (on the same raid-0 config though) Note: Don't know if it's intended or not but the $Windows~BT and ~LS directories are placed in the XP partition (maybe it's supposed to be placed in the new (vista)partition?) - My configuration: Asus P5W DH Deluxe Bios 0901 Intel C2D E6600 OCZ P2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 2x WD740ADFD in raid0 using the controller 82801GR(975X) Asus EN7950GX2 |
