Hi,
I'm trying to install Vista Home Prem on my PC which was running XP Pro (So
full install copy required from boot!).
I ran upgrade advisor and every thing checked out OK except DVD-RAM driver
(I never use as a DVD-RAM Drive anyway).
Problem is I'm having trouble during setup, Setup loads OK and after I
insert the License key it starts installing then asks me for Drivers for the
CD/DVD ROM. I don't know why it is asking for these - surely they are generic
like with other Windows versions. The drive is LG and they don't even have XP
drivers.
Initially the DVD wouldn't read the install disk, but I solved that by
copying the files to the HDD and doing a bootsect.exe to Vista to run from
bootmgr.
I have even disconected the CD/DVD from the MB to hide it from setup but it
still asks for the drivers.
anyone help?
