Ditto Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Have you tried supplying the install with drivers from your Cd's before the install when it asks for them. It may be that thos supplementary drivers are required before install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgEnTsMiTh Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 When I boot from cd, I can't even get to the point to do anything, Like I said, boot from DVD, goto windows loading files screen, then the longhorn boot screen and it freezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you begun to explore the possibility of a network install? I'm assuming your desktop installed Vista fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct? What brand system do you have exactly? I've had some weird problems trying to install this build, such as: I had Linux install on my laptop and figured I'd just blow it completely away, but it would do the exact same thing your saying. I used Acronis DiskDirector 9 and deleted the partitions and it worked just fine afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Vista seems to be rather choosy and i may have gotten lucky on this. A clean and newly partitioned drive using NTFS seems to pose the least problems as long as it was clean when installed. I am in the opposite position that i usually find myself in. This time a windows beta installed for me without a prob and I am trying to supply answers instead of hunting for them. I hope you will all bare with me as i try to help out as best i can. I am looking at all the angles i can to see if there is a common thread here and will stick with it as long as i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgEnTsMiTh Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 OK I just deleted the 2 partitions and going to start fresh. Installing XP pro oem on 1 partition, then going to install vista on the other. I had a dual boot with suse and mabey it did not clean up well after I removed it. I was not able to even get to a welcome screen. It just freezes on the longhorn boot loading screen. It could be something funky going on with my partitions. When I loaded up under XP to start the install there, when I went to choose the partition to install to, it said not available on my empty partition. I assume that may be the problem, who knows, it is a beta after all. I will let you know if it works or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazog Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Are u saying it doesn't support Ati cards yet? 586288061[/snapback] I think they will be updating there drives themselves so we may see a CCC for .net 2.0 for vista and bugfixes. The drivers currently in the OS do not have the CCC nor any opengl files. So gaming is limited with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
