    Cant install Vista Business

    Hmm I went into bios a few times each time it saw all the HDs. The boot order I initially had it boot from the CD.

    Cant install Vista Business

    No. Dont have a sata disk.. I thought XP sp2 and on didnt need sata drivers? It seems Vista doesnt like installing by itself. If I start the vista install from XP and do a install there (not the upgrade) it'll do it fine. Except I have to continue to boot from my XP Hard drive if I try to...

    Hard Drive went bonkers?

    So I have two HDs. A 160 GB Hitachi and 200 GB Maxtor. I hadn't really used the Maxtor much until recently because it use to be in my ps2, and then I took it out so it sat around. Until Vista came out and I decided I wanted to give it a whirl so I installed Vista on the Maxtor and I have XP on...

    Vista DVD problems?

    So I just discovered today that my dvd-rom no longer detects disks when I put them in. It was working fine a couple of days ago as I was able to put a dvd into the drive and use that to rip things. Now I have to put the dvd into my burner for it to detect. Any idea what could have caused this...
