Vista won't boot after installing

[John Barnes]

Since you have Intel chipsets, I haven't seen anywhere where they have
included SATA drivers as part of the chipset, so I suggest that since you
don't have Windows installed now, provide the drivers during the install.
Download the motherboard drivers, find the SATA drivers and provide them
when that option is available.

I finally got it to run but only with an upgrade after a fresh XP
installation. Actually the more or less all Programs are up and running now.
Vista found almost all drivers during install and the 2 missing after first
start were installed in a post process by vista it self. What really is
tricky afterwards is the "User Account Control", also called "UAC". Seems
that most of the Programs don't like it at all. Escpecially Adobe's. Starts
with installation problems and ends up in printing problems. All permission
related.

Thank You & Best

Any more ideas? I need to use Office '03, so I'm wanting a working windows
installation...

Install XP. If you need drivers for that you will probably need them for
Vista also.
