lleial Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 hello, ive been reading around in this forum to see if I could possibly find an answer to my problem and I havnt been able to do so. This is my problem: first i will state my comptuer specs AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 1.024mb ddr pc 3200 ATi radeon 9600 256mb 200 GB Serial ATA + Silicon Controler Ok so when I introduce the cd, get into the set up I have the windows read my controlor driver from the floppy, which has no problem, once that is done, i can see my hard drives, I select the partition, and the installation comences. When it comes to the point that it has to reset, cause it sais, windows has to reset to continue, it restarts the windows longhorn codename thing shows up with the loading bar thing (which I come to imagine is that it will continue installing), then all of a sudden I get a Blue screen that I just dont know what the hell is going around, I come to thing that It has to do with my Controler, I dont know what it is, im open to all opinions and ways of help, and to make it state, im not a noob with windos, been here since computers booted into msdos, i mean to say I can take tecnical instructions, Thanks alot guys, sorry for disturbing if this has already been asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk11vengeance Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 i get the same thing, i dont think there is a fix for it yet, as the driver makers need to release vista compatible ones or either MS needs to. i just installed it on an ide hd to see what it was like. but i cant figure out why ms didnt made sure that this would work, i mean look at all those video and networking drivers they packed onto the cd...why not any controller drivers or the like?

kai0r Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Got the same think. Well if you try to load the setup manually from the bootmanager you might get the "hal.dll missing" error instead of the bluescreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlishFun Veteran Posted August 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 1, 2005 Mine did that too, I was using a Silicon image SATA controller, BSOD on boot. Seemed it just wouldn't take the driver. I ended up having to dig out a normal ATA drive and plug it into IDE1. Unfortunately it doesn't see my data on my other drives, I hope there's a driver (or a fix) released for it.

Aldaris2004 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I think some people have got it working on SATA, but it all depends on your controller. Controllers like the Silicon Image ones need 3rd party drivers in order to be detected, but others can fool the BIOS into thinking they are IDE drives and so don't require any drivers. From what I've read, it's mostly only people with Silicon Image controllers that are having trouble, like me :) My problem is when it reboots halfway through setup to complete the installation, it can't find the driver I provided at setup and so it gives me the ...7B BSOD. Arg... you think MS would have included better drivers for SATA considering how widespread it is now... Oh well... here's to Beta 2 natively supporting SATA...

gam_EZ Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I got it on my ABIT-IC7 motherboard and its SATA. But the installation took over 2 hours for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
