Re: I can't install Vista 64.



As this is a SATA drive Vista may not have the appropriate drivers in which case you will need to install the SATA driver during the install of the operating system. See this link from my website: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/installing_raid_sata_drivers.htm

I just built a new pc with the following parts.

-------------------------
Intel e8400 Cpu
Asus p5q pro Mobo
Ati 4850 GPU
Corsair 620HX Psu
4GB Geil 6400 (Only 2GB installed as I was told it would blue screen to
fresh install with 4GB on 64Bit)
Samsung F1 320GB HD
--------------------------

It boots. Flashes a message "Hard drive not recognized!" But the HD is
there in BIOS.
I then boot Vista 64 Bit, it shows the "Windows is loading" segment,
then the green loading bar. After this it displays a Blue/Green Vista
background that is blank, the PC then stops seeking and it -*Hangs*-
here until I have to reboot.

I have tried the following:

*Changed sata cables
*Changed the ram
*Set DRAM Voltage to 2.10 Volts

None has worked so far. What do you guys suggest? Is the HD not being
recognised? are there issues with 64BIT and recognising HD's? I don't
know. :sarc:
