It's a bit misleading, actually ... crcdisk.sys is the last driver to get
loaded, during that phase of the boot process. So it's the just last driver
which gets displayed, even when the system boots normally. Folks sometimes
conclude (erroneously) it must be a really buggy driver
windows/system32/drivers/disk.sys. I loaded all the new 64 bit drivers
from
web sites and manufacturer discs. Vista accepted a bus driver and a

driver. However it would not accept a video card driver ("installation
Are you installing the 3rd party drivers during the setup process? Or
afterwards, when Vista is all installed and you've logged in for the first
time?
While it's usually good to use the vendor-supplied drivers, for performance
and features, for maximum stability the default Microsoft drivers are often
the best. You should normally be able to install Vista without any 3rd party
drivers at all - unless the boot drive is on a RAID controller which needs
special drivers.
But apart from that, you should be able to get Vista installed with just
what's on the Vista DVD. If you are seeing problems with STOP errors, I'd
recommed you start with a clean installation of Vista, as vanilla as
possible, with no 3rd party drivers. Get that installed, and make sure the
machine is running okay. Then, you can go back and add hardware-specific
vendor-supplied drivers for IDE, SATA, graphics etc. To isolate the cause of
STOP errors, you'd probably want to do this one driver at a time: ie,
install the graphics driver. Then use the machine for a while and satisfy
yourself it's running okay (maybe slow, but not crashing). Then and only
then, install the vendor SATA drivers. Again, use the machine for a while
and satisfy yourself it's running okay. Then install the IDE drivers. Use
the machine for a while and satisfy yourself it's running okay. And do on.
If you start to get blue screens, you can axiomatically suspect the last
driver you installed, is the culprit.

"0x000007E"

STOP 0x7E is nearly always caused by a buggy driver.
But if you actually *must* install 3rd party drivers, even just to get Vista
installed and running on the machine, then you must have somewhat unusual
hardware. In which case it's help if we know more about what the hardware
is, exactly.
