Vista - Confirmed with Asus - Can't load Vista x64 to SATA drive ( nForce 4 Driver)

Just to follow-up on this so others will know that Asus tech support
confirmed that you *cannot* load Vista 64 bit version on to a SATA drive
that uses the nForce 4 (for AMD) drivers. There's plenty of other problems
too but since they're a bit swamped with calls, I didn't have much time with
them. They did say, the new drivers most likely will show up on the Nvidia
site first.

what issue did it have when installing on this system? I have nForce4 AMD
with a SATA drive and it installed but the video jumps around.

Are you saying you have Vista 64 bit version loaded on to a SATA drive? If
so, then it must be connected to the eSATA drive (external) which is
controlled by the Sil 3132 SATA controller and not the nForce SATA
controller.

I have the 32 bit version of Vista on an internal SATA drive (nForce 4
driver) and that works fine and I have the 64 bit version on an EIDE drive
and that's fine too - but I cannot load the 64 bit version to an internal
SATA drive that uses the nForce 4 drivers.

Asus confirmed it won't run but if you have 64 bit Vista on an internal SATA
drive, I'd like to know what difference we have?

I'm not using a asus mb, I have a Gateway, but it uses Nforce. The tech guys
sent me to Nvidia to get new Nforce drivers as they think that is what is
making my video jitter.

I have a GT 5032, all the memory controllers and such in the device manager
are nforce. can't find the SATA controller in there, which may be why it is
working, I may not have updated SATA driver on my system. It works fine
under xp and will boot under vista but I have jittery video.
