Supernova

Reporting back:
1) I have detached my USB drive
2) Deleted a TrueImage SecureZone hidden partition on my main HDD.
3) Returned all BOIS settings to default
4) Performed a clean install of vista ultimate. this went through with no
problems.

Now, I think it is the hidden partition which may have been causing the
problems with installation. The reason I am saying this, is after installing
Vista I re-installed true Image 10. No problems. I created a new SecureZone
hidden partition and vista won't boot up. luckily I was able to fix it by
putting the vista DVD in drive and booting from there. the thing fixed it
self but de-activated securezone boot up menu.
What do people think? Has anyone had the same problem before?
