    Vista Install BUG maybe???

    Been running RC1 and all was well....Removed this hard drive and

    Installed a new SATA hard drive to do a fresh install of Vista Business
    (full retail version). My Data hard drive was left installed (PATA drive)..

    Install went without a hitch, but when I removed the Vista DVD and rebooted
    the system, it would not boot....only way to get it to book was to put the
    Vista DVD back in, then Vista boots great...

    I then removed the DATA drive, leaving only the SATA system drive,
    reinstalled and then all worked great.. reconnected Data drive... success,
    all is well again...

    Just wanted to post for your info...this may be a BUG that Microsoft might
    want to look into....

    Hello,
    Check for BIOS updates, there were some BIOS issues around this type of
    issue.
    Thanks,
