G'day :) I'm posting here in hopes of someone helping me solve my problem with Vista64. I am currently running vista32,have 3 Hard drives, with one being for OS,2 for data. SO in the pursuit of great things, bought Vista64,and just to make life easier,a new HDD to install to. Unpluged all existing HDD's and connected new HDD,began the new install :party: well it installed ok,even did some updates online,then i thought, time to connect the Data drives. well everything went pearshaped:sick:,nothing but a blank screen. disconnected the new HDD and reconnected the vista32,presto,all good again. so after some disscution with my supplier,got a new HDD. Start again,this time loaded the ich9r driver at the load driver screen,then install, all good,loaded the M/B drivers,all good, connected the Data disks,:sick: blank screen. we pluged the HDD into a XP pro machine, and checked in disk management,all ok, active partition,with windows files. reconnected to my M/B, and nothing, doesnt even find disk connected. I am stuck! and would love some help, please. after googleing [for some days now] have found nothing that helps me fix this problem and I am not that savy with computers,usually they just work.But not this time... my config~ q6600, GA X38 DQ6, 4x1Gig 800ram, 8800gt 512 vid card. cheers. -- Smithy |

Hi, Check your hardware detection settings as well as master/slave settings on the individual drives. This isn't a windows issue, it's a hardware one. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Smithy" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:b469787bc98a4efb5d3310bcf2ab364f@nntp-gateway.com... > > G'day :) > I'm posting here in hopes of someone helping me solve my problem with > Vista64. > I am currently running vista32,have 3 Hard drives, with one being for > OS,2 for data. > SO in the pursuit of great things, bought Vista64,and just to make life > easier,a new HDD to install to. > Unpluged all existing HDD's and connected new HDD,began the new install > :party: > well it installed ok,even did some updates online,then i thought, time > to connect the Data drives. > well everything went pearshaped:sick:,nothing but a blank screen. > disconnected the new HDD and reconnected the vista32,presto,all good > again. > so after some disscution with my supplier,got a new HDD. > Start again,this time loaded the ich9r driver at the load driver > screen,then install, > all good,loaded the M/B drivers,all good, connected the Data > disks,:sick: blank screen. > we pluged the HDD into a XP pro machine, and checked in disk > management,all ok, active partition,with windows files. > reconnected to my M/B, and nothing, doesnt even find disk connected. > I am stuck! and would love some help, please. > after googleing [for some days now] have found nothing that helps me > fix this problem > and I am not that savy with computers,usually they just work.But not > this time... > my config~ > q6600, GA X38 DQ6, 4x1Gig 800ram, 8800gt 512 vid card. > > cheers. > > > -- > Smithy |
