Hello, ok so i put together a new system for my friend and here is the
problem. Once vista boots from the cd it goes to a windows is setting up
files,then goes to a black screen where there is a lilttle green bar
moving. Now right after that it goes to a blueish screen where there is
just the mouse cursor on the screen and just stays there? This is on all
new hardware. Also this is a sata hard drive, Thank you :)

Yeah, almost like "down the bottom" it "asked if you wanted to load any
drivers"

*sigh*

It can be a little involved. Gigabyte has an online utility for
upgrading. Don't know how it works.

Be CAREFUL.
