After a PSU/Motherboard problem, my computer has been rebuilt with a
new mother board. I'm now trying to reinstall Vista.
I've given up trying to install to an existing partition on he hard
drive (where the system was previously) as the previous system there
cannot be recognised even though all the files could be read when the
drive was loaded to another machine.
I have used diskpart to clear down the disk and have reformatted it to
a single 75GB partition. It is the only disk on the system, but when
I try to install Vista I first get the message 'This computer's
hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure disk controller
is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu' and then 'Windows is unable to
find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation'.
I have looked at KB925481, but that refers to there being multiple
disks which is not the case here.
Winfast Motherboard MCP61SM2MA-ERS2H (not ERS2HV - could that be
important?)
