Installing VIsta Beta2. ERROR

[Guest]

Helo just trying tonight and install a clean installation of Vista.

although just in the start of the installation it hangs and does nothing.
This is a totally new computer so there is nothing on the disk.

it gets to the part where system says.
"windows is loading Files" and when its done it gets me to another screen
where its just says "Windows © 2006 Microsoft Corporation" and then nothing
happends. have waited for 2 hours and still nothing..

anybody got a clue??

Sounds like your new computer has a SATA hard drive. Are you providing it
the drivers?

oo ok.. thnxc..

Yes it has only SATA drivers... ... do i have to install some kind of
drivers for that you mean?

i kow in windows 2003 server you sometimes must click F6 in the installation
to install the drivers. but here it tells me no option or anything..

how do i install the Sata drivers?

Ok now i have done some seriuos testing.. .

First tryed different DVD players = Nothing
Tryed another Sata Disk then my Raptor 10000Rpm 150 Western-D, disk= Nothing
Then Downloaded new ISO from microsoft= Nothing
Then Doing atleast 50different Test with various setting in BIOS=Nothing
Then Installing Normal XP Sp1 and then start Vista installation from there
choosing Complete installation. and it proceeds and then wants to reboot
computer and at the reboot.. When the "Loading" bar shows at the bottom of
the screen = NOTHING.. it just hangs.
Then Now just recently Tested started the reboot in "Safe Mode" by pressing
F6 and load from there and it seems fine, loading different files on the
screen untill \$WINDOWS.~BT\Windows\System32\drivers\disk.sys, and there it
just hangs.

so i guess either Windows/microsoft dosnt support my hardware or the file is
corrupt..

System Info:
P4 3.4Ghz Dual Core
2Gbit Corsair PC6400
BFG Nvidia GForce 7950GX2 1GB
Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10000RPM

Ok i have managed to get to the installation of vista.

what was the error then? well i have tested different settings, different
updates different of everything. and it all turned out to be the BFG
Gforce7950 SLI card..

i just took that of the motherboard and put in a normal PCI graphic card and
wops.. "Welcome To Vista Installation"

lol.. owell.. it is a Beta.. but damn.. that was the last thing i thought
abut especially as the file that was halted was called "disk.sys" and
everyone seems to talk about SATA incompatibly etc..

 

[Guest]

This sucks... Vista dosnt like PCI express.. SLI cards..

how was it now again..

HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO AND A REALLY GOD GRAPHIC CARD and you will enjoy VISTA
even more.. LOL.. M$ does it again i think..

stay tune for more updates. OF cRaP
