ok this has got me absolutely baffled.
first off no matter what my first os is, is cant load a second os on a second partition.
look at my sig for hardware specs.
get the first one all loaded up,, then lets say i throw in the Windows 64 beta, it goes thru the paces of the boot screen when booting to the cd.
i give it the SATA drivers, or even if i dont. It loads all the drivers into the ram drive then when it says "Starting Windows" the screen just goes black. and thats all. its not locked cuz if i hit enter a few times the cd and floppy do a little spinning but then thats all i try to hit F3 a few times like i am exiting and i wait but nothing happens.
has anyone seen this before. cuz i never have. i used to dual boot 98 and 2k then 2k and XP and never had any issues.
now with my current hardware config i cant load a thing after the first os. not even another copy of 2k.
ive never seen it just go to a blank screen and sit there. its like it cant initialise the video but the video is already initialised.
its wierd and very frustrating, cuz i would really like to dually up with windows 64.
