- 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

Since the Vista Beta 2 installer is such a large download, the chances
for a bolloxed burn of the DVD are better than average. Try reburning
the DVD at a much slower speed (Microsoft recommends 1x-2x).

This is why I personally paid the $10 for the DVD from Microsoft, even
though I have a fast broadband connection.
