Re: vista virgin

owlsurfer,
Are you saying that the vista installation completed and now it's asking for the nvidia graphics driver? If this is a name brand PC (like dell, ibm, compaq, hp) then you can get the driver from their website. Or if this is a PC you built yourself then I can't help but assume you know what hardware you have. If it is indeed an Nvidia video card you shuld be able to find it on the list. Kind of sounds like you have a brand name motherboard with Nvidia chipset on it. Like Nforce?

Re: vista virgin

Hi thanks for the reply upon closer inspection even though it showed it was connected ok the sata lead was not fully connected, after refitting the OEM o/s loaded no trouble at all. Hope this might help someone else out in the future.Thanks again for the reply.
