Dear all,
the problem below got solved by removing the harddisk to another pc and formatting it.
warning: ghost 12 created an unremovable folder 'boot' which disabled the possibility to restore or reinstall vista, the irony

Dear all,
I had (finally) a perfect working pc for weeks besides a ps2 mouse isssue. The new F4 bios for my mainboard would solve this so i installed it.
System is working fine as always untill i decided to do a clean install now that the experimental phase was over
So i put in my vista dvd and it the pc boots from the dvd but after
the progress bar the screen stays black (more than 30 minutes is a long wait).
I tried the same with my ghost 12 cd. Same problem, booting works but loading any gui / screen fails.
So I tried everything:
- changed usb keyboard and mouse to ps2
- disconnected everything during boot
- try to install from windows vista itself but also there it fails after the first install
- removed 2 gig ram
I want to stress that the only thing i did the last weeks was a bios update. And that i installed vista and ghost perfectly the past weeks.
So bottom line is that i can't acces my ghost copies, can't do a clean install (always microsoft progress bar and than nothing when booting from dvd).
Is it possible that there is a strange thing about the harddisk that is causing this because a dvd from gigabyte with experess recovery works fine?
Please help
