I dont really know any further.
My problem: Everytime i try to install Vista on my computer, it crashes. Or
to me more exact, in the 2nd stage of the installation progress, after the
reboot, it stays about 10 minutes in the last step (i think its "finishing
installation"), and then reboots hard.
Funny thing is: Directly after that reboot, the SATA disk Vista was
installed onto will not be detected by the bios.
After a cold restart, trying to boot from the disk will result in a message
that says something like "This installation of Vista was aborted and cannot
be resumed. Please re-install".
I tried that 10 times now.
My configuration:
Gigabyte GA-965P-S3
6Gbyte DDR2
Intel C2D-6600
Geforce 8800 gts
Highpoint 2300 Raid controller
Vista is being installed on a Sata Disk, while there are 2 PATA disks and
the raid.
I tried installing with only 2Gbyte. I tried installing when setting sata
native ports to off in bios.
I tried re-installing over the broken installation. I also tried installing
with my old raid controller (a promise SX4000... in fact i bought a new one
because i thought that the non-support of vista for this controller is the
reason for crash). Non changed anything.
The computer itself is not at fault: Its been running WinXP Pro for over a
year now without any kind of problems.
Any idea what the reason for this could be? I am a bit at a loss about where
to search, as it doesnt even show as much as an error code before the reboot.
