LTREX Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 :angry: Man Blue Screen of Death! Sorry that I might have post same or similar topic, I'm new to the forum and wasn't sure if anyone else has same or similar problem. First I try doing a fresh install on a clean hard drive (WD 74GB 10,000 RPM SATA), but had issues loading VIASRAID driver for Vista Build 5219 it keep saying that it can't find driver when I have it on a floppy/CD/usb thumdrive. I try 32bit version of the driver and beta amd64 version and still no luck. So I try installing my Media Center back on and do an upgrade. It seem to be working but then the Blue Screen of Death appear after it reboot to continue installation. I know there's nothing wrong with my hard drive (WD 74GB 10,000 RPM SATA). I ran several test on it and even replaced it with one of my other drive (WD 74GB 10,000 RPM SATA). They both pass DFT and also memory test. Can anyone help me out? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerster Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Vista didnt blue screen, XP did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AK] Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Rob.Baker is right, it's definitely not vista, hell you're just in the setup stage. It's definitely XP without a doubt. Have you closed all progs in the background? Are you sure nothing has exclusive access to your hdd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTREX Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 well it sound like XP, but it's not... it's vista... I finally got the driver to work using the command line... e:\drivers\DPInst.exe /PATH a:\winxp\ /F then it finally show up I format and delete the partition and then it installed... but after reboot to finish installation... it give me the BLUE SCREEN... :( I have not test it using IDE HDD... because I don't have any IDE HDD availible... Anyone with WD 74GB 10,000 RPM Drive have similar problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klownicle Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 90% of the serial ata drivers out there are non compliant with vista, I tried and did exactly what you have done in all possible combinations all resulted in bsod. You cannot get passed it in this build. I ended up installing on a ata controller (onboard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankyone Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 you need to put your inf, sys and cat file on the root of floppy and use the load driver button (when booting of the CD) if it doesn't work then its just too bad your SATA controller is not supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I don't think Vista *has* a BSOD ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I8PP Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I don't think Vista *has* a BSOD ... 586640379[/snapback] Oh it does... it does, it's something you can't really eliminate from beta software. I installed SAV 9 and Daemon tools one time and BAM, upon reboot it died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Warwagon MVC Posted October 10, 2005 MVC Share Posted October 10, 2005 so it says in the blue screen message it shut down to prevent damage to your hardware, so if there was no blue screen then it would damage stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-BiSo- Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have a problem installing Vista too, it's because of the RAID thingy It looks like Vista isn't compatible with RAID drivers; at least in this build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
