components for your system during install. You may need a driver for the DVD/CD controller on your motherboard etc. Go to the motherboard vendors web site and get all the drivers for your system - as well as any other devices you may have such as graphics cards etc. Biggest problem here is "I dont know much about it as am not a pro in hardware" - maybe you should consider not building your own PCs and installing operating systems if you are not up to it. A local PC shop may be happy to install your OS for you (for a fee). -- Mike Brannigan | ||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Bit Installation Problem http://sony.storagesupport.com/node/7182 According to Sony, no specific driver is needed. Do you have any hard drives installed in the machine? (You didn't provide specs on it/them.) Sound card? Recommendations on installing x64: (when you're having a troubled installation) (Not all of this is required for everyone. It's just a list of things others have noted.) Remove all peripherals from the machine while installing Vista x64. (Printers, Flash drives, anything USB) Some have better luck with only 2GB installed during installation. If your sound card is Creative, remove it until later. If you have SLI, disable it until later. If you have IDE and SATA drives, remove all but the hard drive you want to install Vista onto. Don't perform updates during the installation. Once Vista is installed, collect the drivers for any components you will be adding and install the component and driver. Reboot when requested. Once all components installed, including memory, get the windows updates. At this point, if you have SLI, enable it. Don't forget to set the memory hole remapping feature in your BIOS.
