Just for public information, the testers of our software determined that if
a SATA HDD is connected to the first SATA plug, RC1 can throw BSOD during
installation. Changing to a non-first SATA plug solves this issue.
The particular HW configuration does not seem to matter, since we're seeing
this happening on different machines and it might not be reproduced for the
exctly same machines.

I haven't had any BSODs with my Maxtor 300GB SATA-2 HD. In fact, I've
experienced absolutely NO problems with my Apple Intel iMac 17" PC
since I installed Vista RC1 Build 5728. This build is super-sweet,
and operates smoothly.

I firmly believe Vista is close to RTM with this build.
