Hi, I need to some how load my SATA drivers before vista setup starts just like with Windows XP when you press F6 you are allowed to load drivers. I believe if i can do this with Vista i might not get the blue screen error. So if anyone know of this option, please reply.

thank you.

When the Vista setup gets to the part where you choose what hard drive you want to install to; it will then present you with the option of installing additional drivers.

The only problem with that is that i get a blue screen error before I get a chance to see the GUI. Basically all i see is "windows is loading" and then i get to the colorful background and then a blue screen appears and my installation is ended. So i don't even get to the Setup Interface.
