I have
GA-K8NXP-SLI nForce4 motherboard
1Gb Ram in (2x512)
AMD64 3500+
1 x Nvidia 6800GT
2 x 120Gb Segate 120Gb 7200RPM Disks
2 x 74Gb Raptor SATA running as a 138Gb RAID strip set
LG All formats 8x DVD Writer
I did not want a Beta OS to control my raid disks, as thats got a very
stable and working OS with a load of stuff installed and it'd take me a
while to reinstall though there is nothing I can't lose on there, but would
prefer if its not recognised by Vista or would disable it if it did. With
this in mind I formatted one of the 120Gb's with 3 partitions, with the idea
that I'd maybe install both 32 and 64bit versions.
I am using the boot manager thats in the BIOS. It allows me to choose which
controller to boot from, so before booting from the DVD I marked the
standard PATA drive as the second bootable disk. The blank formatted and
partitioned hard disk is the primary master disk, Disk0 in Disk manager
under XP.
Booting took a while and got me to the install button, but pressing that
setup informs me that it cannot get information about my disks and cannot
continue. Both version do the same.
Given that this is a standard IDE disk, nothing to do with RAID, i'm
disappointed as I cant install Vista on this vista capable PC.
