My motherboard is a different one (MSI K8N Neo4) but it has the same
chipset. The people I've been talking to about that I trust think it's an
issue with the motherboard/chipset. I've also tried installing Vista from
within Windows XP on a separate partition ins a dual-boot scenario, but that
doesn't work either. Everything seemed to be going OK. It accepted the
driver diskette, then gave me a message about a missing SCSI driver. Since I
have no SCSI devices, I told it to go ahead anyway. It went through copying
files, then rebooted.
But rebooting resulted in a blue screen, which repeated when I tried
rebooting again.



If you, or anyone else here, has any other suggestions for me to try, I'm
all ears.
