Reboot Loop after first part of install

[Guest]

I have an SATA HDD on an Intel 82801FB SATA Controller. I've found what
appears to be the correct driver, boot the the Vista install. I'm doing a
fresh install, load the driver, partition my disk, and it goes through the
Copying Windows Files, Expanding Files etc etc. Then after the reboot I'm
stuck in a loop of constant rebooting when it tries to load windows.

Can anyone help?

Have you tried the install without adding the drivers?

I can't install without the driver. Vista doesn't detect a drive if it isn't
installed...

Well, I guess the sata driver is not the problem. If you have not already
done so, uninstall any add in cards like modem, sound card etc. If you have
on board sound, disable it in the bios.
