Vista gave me Blue Screen of Death!

: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

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?

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?

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).

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

I don't think Vista *has* a BSOD ...

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.

I waz instaling vista beta 1 (first version) and aftrer the logo screen i got a blue screen with an erore like the other one up.The problem waz that i heve umpluged the Floppy drive's power conector.

I installed daemon tools and wen i restarted it came up with the BSOD. I tried starting up a few more times and it still didnt work so i ran in safe mode and after that it went fine.

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?
