Hi guys,
Please help, I have seen the same problem I am having all over the forums and I have tried all the solutions and nothing works. I have a brand new build, no OS installed yet. P6T Deluxe mb, i7920, 6Gb corsair ram, 1 SATA hd, an IDE dvd, and an Evga 9800.
All in all , I thought a pretty decent build. I have built about a dozen machines over the past 20 years, this is the first time I've had any trouble at all. I guess things are just getting too complicated for us old guys. Anyway, P6T says no valid drives, won't boot to Vista 64 dvd. I've tried disabling SAS, tried using an IDE hd instead of SATA, various results, so far the best I've gotten is with the SATA and the dvd, it begins to read the disk says "Windows is loading files, gives me the Windows screen with the little horizontal moving light for a few moments then a blue screen, which to me does not look like the traditional BSoD, it has a kind of shaded light blue, almost like a wallpaper and I have an arrow icon I can move around, then it justs sits there like that forever.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
