Vista Boot Loop

[Guest]

Vista will not start. Once it gets to the windows loading screen it shuts
down and restarts. I have it installed on a USB 2.0 Harddrive. My system
definately meets specs:

P4 3.0ghz
1.5gb ram
nVidia Geforce 7800GT (256mb)
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS

Vista does not support external hard disk, try installing on an internal
SATA or IDE drive.

I had a similar problem with my SATA drives. I had to low level format them
in order to get everything to install properly.
