get a vista 64 bit RAID driver for your mobo, stick it on a usb stick and then point 7 at that when it asks. i think the message is a tad misleading but that did the trick for meOriginally Posted by Trash Man

Windows is treating the dvd like it's blank for some reason
It was reading it fine when booting from the bios. I burned the disc on my laptop which has Vista and I am trying to install on to my desktop which has XP. Would this cause a problem? I'll transfer the iso over to my desktop and burn it from there and give that ago.

Downloaded in a few hours here at work, both 32 and 64 bit. Already running on virtual desktop and laptop.

Trash Man - try changing the SATA mode in the BIOS if you have no luck. Setting it to native should mean that no drivers are needed
The drive is an IDE drive though, does that make any difference? Sorry, I'm not as up on the tech side of things as I used to be a few years ago and everything seems to move so fastTrash Man - try changing the SATA mode in the BIOS if you have no luck.

I tried the raid driver on a USB stick with no luck. I've burnt the iso to another dvd on my desktop but the drive/computer is still not seeing it for some reason.
Would changing the DVD drive make any difference? I can't see how, as there still won't be any drivers on the system for any drive.

Just got the x64 bit version, when my graphics card turns up from eBuyer (Sapphire 4770) I'll be installing it on my home rig for use.
I downloaded the 64bit version. I booted with the DVD in and it blue screened while loading the files. The message was something to do with paging files. I rebooted and it blue screened again but said something about USB drivers. I rebooted again and it blue screened saying something else. So I went back to XP and burned the iso to a different brand of DVD-R and at a lower speed. Windows 7 "installed" but when I booted from the hard drive it rebooted the computer and came up with a "Windows was not shut down properly" message. It wouldn't get past the boot screen. I tried to do a repair from the Windows 7 DVD menu and it said it couldn't continue because of an external media problem.
I have one 160GB IDE hard drive plugged in while doing this. The partition with Windows 7 is only 20GB, which I know is quite small. My DVD drive is IDE. I'm trying to resize the partition with an Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD but it's taking longer than expected. The stuff on the bigger partition isn't hugely important but it needs to stay on there, so I would really prefer not to format the whole drive.
I had no problems with the Beta on this computer, other than a lack of graphics drivers.
Signed up for it and downloaded the x64 version... I'm taking two plunges here, upgrading from XP to Win 7 AND going from 32bit to 64bit for the first time. Everything appears to be going blissfully
Thank god for windows update too, saved me a lot of time hunting down for drivers.
OK one issue, joined to a domain and we use a proxy for Internet. The network icon displays a yellow triangle and comes up local access only, no Internet. Well how does IE connect then ... Might have a twiddle with network types and stuff.
I can't install it on any of my PC's or laptop. Same old issue of no drivers for the DVD drive. I would have thought they would have fixed this for the RC.
Installs on all my PCs, work and home - are you saying it doesn't recognise ANY of the dvd drives?
Regardless, you can install from flash, hard drive etc..

wow thats a big jump for you man. i wouldnt do so given what you use your laptop for but if all goes well and that all your music stuff works fine on win 7 then why notSigned up for it and downloaded the x64 version...

Thank god for windows update too, saved me a lot of time hunting down for drivers.
When I get to the blue screen where it says install now, After clicking on install now it says there is no driver for the DVD drives and I've tried to get it to use drivers from a USB pen and from the HDD but, it says that no suitable drivers were found.
I did look at trying to install from the USB flash drive with the first beta but, gave up because it just seemed soo long winded having to mess around.
I either just mount the image (in the existing OS) or extract it to a folder somewhere and install from that. Installing from USB is pretty trivial: http://dotnetwizard.net/vista-stuff/...ashhard-drive/
