I posted this message on a different Vista newsgroup and was told to repost
here.
I have not been able to install the Vista Beta 2 Customer Preview Program
version.
I am using the DVD shipped by Microsoft. The computer I am trying to install
on is a Shuttle model X:
Motherboard: Shuttle FT61
Chipset: ATI Radeon 9100 IGP
Memory: 1024 MB
Bios: Award (08/31/04)
HD's: Two(2) 185 Gb in RAID configuration
Raid: SiliconeImage on motherboard
I upgraded Windows XP and all drivers I could find before starting.
First I tried as an upgrade to the current Windows XP with SP2. It just
lock-ups the compter anyware from 12% to 49% of the "Expanding Files"
process. Second, I booted my computer in Safe Mode and tried the install. A
message informed me tha an "upgrade" from Windows XP is not available in that
mode. So, I chose a new install. After a while I received a message that the
SiliconeImage RAID driver could not be installed and that the computer may
not boot-up after the install. I did not want an inoperative system after
all that effort, so I aborted the installation.
I would appreciate any advice.
