Good Evening, I have been having a small issue trying to get Vista to install
on my home built machine. Here are the stats:
K9n SLI Platimun
AMD 4400 x2
dual seagate 160gb raptors (sata) as seperate drives (no striping or raid)
dual 7600 Nvidia graphics cards (running SLI)
2 GB DDR2 800
Lightscribe DVD multi drive
XP Pro x64
Problem. I am trying to install Vista on one of the Raptors from within the
XP Pro environment. I am able to get past the intial set up, and down load.
The computer restarts and hangs in the black screen with the green Microsoft
progress bar. It seems that all HD activity stops. And there it sits, for
hours. I have plugged away at various forums, but nothing seems quite
correct. I notice that perhaps MSI mother boards might have an issue, and I
have checked for drivers. In fact I load one up in the vista install but it
doesn't change the out come.
I have tried stopping antivirus (AVG), all non essential services, I even un
plugged the Hard drive with XP on it, and plugged the other drive into the
SATA port trying to install Vista from a DVD boot up. Same exact issue. I
am thinking Vista is having issues reading the hard drive? Anyone else have
this issue and found a solution?
