hi there, i am trying to run a purchased dvd of Vista build 5384, 32 bit on a
new sony vgx-xl1a with win media ctr edition,512 mb ram 3.0 clock and 160 gb
sata.have tried clean as well as conventional install/upgrades. can complete
but cant access, can only boot in safe mode where i am able to change several
things. using advisor i only had to install start drivers for sata drive
which i did. can someone help? thanks.
 
Jay - you should never install "Beta" version as upgrades - an easy way to
lose XP, or Media Center, installation. XP as no method of restoration
after an upgrade attempt - or than reinstallation.
To "safe mode" - Ninety nine and nine-tenths of the time a successful safe
mode boot but unsuccessful normal boot indicates a driver problem.
