Playing mp3's with winamp works fine here.....

I wonder if its just me. I think I am beginning to see a video driver problem with this build that seems to be the root of most problems ppl are having. Could be just my imagination but its looking that way to me.

can you try booting in VGA mode to see if it works

[Predatorz]

didnt work :( got the same bluescreen, weird :cry:

I installed it on the IDE drive, I have XP on the SATA drive, could that be the reason?

Are you installing to the same partition as XP

[Predatorz]

nope, should I?

[Ditto]

is this partition formatted or unformatted. is it NTFS. is it on a seperate drive

[Predatorz]

I have two SATA drives and 1 IDE drive, all off them are NTFS.

XP on one off the sata drives, and I set vista to install on the ide

Under XP go to Control Panel and open Administrative tools. from there open Computer management and from there open disk management right click on the disk or partition you want to use for vista and choose format and use the quick option as well as NTFS from the drop down. Once this is done launch the install from either the DVD or a mounted image and choose that partition for install.

[Ditto]

I am using 2 SATA drives and the mounted image worked great for me

[Predatorz]

Very weird, im trying to install it on the SATA drive now.

[Predatorz]

nope still get the bluescreen :(

[linsook]

[Ditto]

nope  still get the bluescreen :(

hmmm,

can you disable one or the other drive and partition the remaining one and try installing it that way. could be a problem with the mixed interfaces

[Predatorz]

i`ll try :)

[ultimate99]

[Predatorz]

did you disable it or unplug it from the MoBo.

[Predatorz]

I unplugged it, I think I had about the same problem when I tried to installer an earlier version of Longhorn beta

OK I need a little help here.

Trying to install it on my laptop. I have 1 80 gig HDD split into 2 partions. 1 for XP the other for the beta 1. Both are NTFS. When I boot from the DVD, I get the windows loading screen, then it goes to the Longhorn screen then it just stops I let it sit for 15 min thinking its doing something but its not, it just stops the progress bar freezes.

When I load the DVD while in XP, I go thru the setup, choose the partition to install, everything is fine, when it reboots, I freeze again at the same point on the longhorn loading screen.

My laptop is a P4 2.8, 1 gig ddr 400, 80gig HDD, ATI 9600 Mobility 128mb, Intel Pro wireless 2200.

I should have no issue doing a dual boot but, I can't for the life of me figure out what the deal is. Any input?

[Predatorz]

I`m installing from the DVD drive. But someone told me that vista+via+sata = problems :crazy:
