So, when I go to install Vista 64 (OEM) I get through the loading files screen and the screen with the moving green/yello bar at the bottom, but then freeze on the green-blue screen. The DVD activity light stays on. If I open the dvd drive the beginning of the installation process will pop up (choose country, language, etc). When I do this it moves onto the next screen and I hit Install Now. It then freezes at "Please wait." If I open the dvd drive once more I get a box titled load driver that says "A required CDDVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now." If I insert a disc it just keeo looking and looking. Any ideas?
These are the relevant parts I think. Do I need to do something to the HD before installation? Is this a problem with not having the SATA drivers?
