1. Vista starts loading files but hangs on a black screen.
2. F8 and Startup Repair from System Recovery Option never ends (last I kept it for 48h, then switched off the computer).
3. Recovery CD starts good but after choosing a language and pressing OK, it gives two DOS windows containing:
Waiting for ODD to become available ...
ODD Drive E: ready.
Check for medium in drive E: ...
Continue...
Failed to initialize the raid class.
No RAID - continue normally ...
Installation in progress ...
Press any key to continue . . .
<Enter>
X:\windows\system32>

Checking for HDD1
HDD1 not found!
Try to remove all letters from potential partition on HDD 0 ...

Dos to format your tools



Do not have a small outside

To find a XP installation disk, and then the installation, when prompted to format the C disk to determine the reference time-point, after the completion of documents to load discs directly out interruption, and then you can install your new vista http://forshop.net/
