Cannot even install Vista.
Tried loads of times and it gets as far as completing installation..
then blue screen.........
tried only 512Mb, same, must be some other hardware causing it but what?
2x WD 160GB SATA drives
1x Samsung DVD Rom
1x NEC DVD Ram
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800
2X512Mb Geil value ram
Nvidia 7300GT
Nothin overclocked.
ABIT AN8 Ultra
 
Nero, have you removed all USB peripherals from your machine? Blue screens
are usually driver related. Are the SATA drivers you are using to install
your hard drive Vista compatible? Check with the manufacturer website.

Don't have to install SATA drivers and anyway, there are no nVidia SATA
drivers for Vista.
Vista installs ont a SATA drive without "drivers", it has built in SATA
driver.
There are beta Vista nvidia drivers that include SATA Raid but I am not
using RAID anyway.
 
Well there is a driver conflict somewhere.
