Vista - Building a New System

MSI K9N Platinum, AMD 64 X2 4600 cpu, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, DVD drive, WD 250GB
SATA 16MB cache HD Geforce 7600.

Vista will not install on this system at all. I've tried installing to a
blank formatted drive. Installing XP SP2 and upgrading no luck. Vista won't
install on the SATA drive. I'm wondering if I should just wait for RC-1

load the sata driver where you choose the partition. real mode is axed, it's
all protected-mode based now.

You have to provide the SATA -controller- driver during install. Which build
are you trying to install? I had to provide the SATA controller driver in
5384 but 5472 had the driver, so I didn't have to provide the driver when I
installed 5472. Of course we may have different SATA controllers.

Oops... I must have "disremembered" my 5472 install because I just tried
installing 5536 on my Dell XPS Gen 2 and not only did it need the SATA
controller driver, but it, Vista Setup, BSOD'd after I provided the driver.
Nice. It's a new feature.

Ah... tried installing 5536 on my Dell XPS Gen 2 again and got the BSOD
after providing the SATA controller driver. So I guess I'll be running 5472
on that seat until a new build that doesn't BSOD during setup arrives.

Lang are you dual booting and launching Vista setup from XP or are you
launching setup from the Vista DVD after restart?

Booting to Vista DVD. No dual boot. Guess I could look around for an updated
iastor.inf, etc.

Thanks,
