Please help me. I am having serious difficulty installing Windows Vista Ultimate. I belive the problem lies with the SATA HDD that I have. I have attempted to reseach the issue, but have been unable to solve the problem.
My Settings
My motherboard is a: GA-965P-S3.
I have a Seagate 7200.10 (ST3320620AS) 320GB Serial ATA300 HDD.
The HDD is connected in the slot labelled "SATAII0", the other available slots are the "SATAII1", "SATAII2", "SATAII3" and two others labelled "GSATAII0" and GSATAII1"
In the "Intergrated Peripherals" section of the BIOS the following options are selected:
SATA AHCI Mode: AHCI
SATA Port0-3 Native Mode: Disabled
Onboard SATA/IDE Device: Enabled
Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode: AHCI
The Problem
I am attempting to make a fresh installation.
I load the Vista installation and work my way to the format harddrive section then proceed with the install.
At the moment the installation hangs after the first initial restart at "Completing Installation".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
