Hi,
Either you have a faulty component, or some piece of hardware attached to
the system is not natively supported. I have seen several instances where
having onboard IE1394 (firewire) enabled has halted installations. Make sure
to disable non-essential onboard components when troubleshooting. Otherwise,
I'd say you have a faulty motherboard, power supply, or cpu. As well, there
is a known timing issue with installing Vistax64 when all 4 memory slots are
filled, try only 2 matched modules in bank 0.
Incidentally, updating a BIOS has nothing to do with the hard drive. This
process places a new set of instructions on the motherboard's BIOS chipset.
