I received my DVD of beta 2 in the post today. I can't even get it to
install - setup stops with a message saying that it can't get any information
about my drives and won't go any further. Has anyone else come across this
problem? Any ideas or have I wasted £12?
 
What are your system details and which version - x86 or x64 - are you trying
to install?
There are 2 DVDs in the kit.

Are you trying to do a clean install, or an upgrade?
 
If you are using SATA drives you may need to provide the drivers with the
Load Drivers button before any Volumes can be detected by Setup.
 
If clean install make sure your sata drives show up in the partition box. If
they do not show choose install driver and install the sata driver.

If upgrade disconnect all devices such as printers, port replicators and
such the likes. Only mouse and keyboard should be present.

FWIW I read on a Vista ng to copy only the contents of the Fastrak or Ultra
(depending on how you're using the controller) XP folder to your
floppy/CD.........and it works !!
