Reboot loops during installation of Vista

I tried to install Vista Beta and it runs for a while and gets to the first
reboot and reboots and restarts with "completing upgrade". After about 30
mins it starts to reboot and fails. If your start in safe mode it still just
says in a reboot loop and comes right back to the same screen. My partial
configuration is as follows:

ASUS P4P800-E mother board
Pentium 4 3.20GHz
I GB of memory
NVIDIA G-force 6200 video card.

Does anyone have any pointers on what to look for at this point. Any help
would be appreciated. If anyone needs more infomation just reply and I will
be happy to get the information that is requested!!!

Thanks in advance

Re: Reboot loops during installation of Vista

It sounds like you are not supplying a needed driver for your hard disk
controller at the beginning (Load Drivers button).

Never see a "load drivers button"
