Best to just turn RAID off in the BIOS if you aren't going to use it as it
will save boot up time.
 
I have tried turning the RAID off in BIOS, because I don't use it, but it
still throws up the error message during installation. I'm not sure what it
is that it is after???

Any more ideas??
 
If you have disabled everything on the MOBO that can be disabled and cannot
get an install, there isn't much you can do. I have researched your board,
and quite frankly you are not alone. I have NEVER seen a MOBO so badly
reviewed before on NewEgg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16813130052 I
suggest you read down thru the reviews and often you will be able to find
someone else who had your problem and solved it or ended up swapping mobos.
Good luck
 
I have read through all of the posts on newegg.com. In all honesty apart from
this issue with Vista, the board is fine. Most users that have issues on this
site say that they have issues with the board because it is geared towards
Vista.

I just can't afford to buy a new mobo yet. And I don't really want to, if
there can be a solution.

I have posted at the MSI forums to see if someone can help.

Thanks for your help and advice
 
At this point, that is the smartest thing to do. Nobody here seems to have
that board and solved the Vista install problems. Good luck.
I am sure when they get the BIOS issue solved so it works with Vista, it
will be a good board. Just a matter of waiting. I had a similar problem
when SATAII drives came along and my MOBO would not allow me to install an
OS on it, just use it as a data drive.

I got the same error. Switched my cd rom to slave. Hurraa!!! It
worked fine at first. Then Vista would not recognize the second Vista
installation CD, so I restarted the install.
Guess what. I got the same "CD\DVD" error again with the same
setup.
For some reason Vista does not like my CD ROM drive. It works one
time and then decides not to work the second.
You would think Microsoft could test these things before hand.
I few people have had success by swapping CD/DVD drives. You may want
to try the same thing.
That's my next step.
