Whats going on with my PC?!
Ok, I have tried every option for getting Windows 7 to install, failed, and decided I was going to go back to Vista.
However, I am now getting the same error installing Vista as I have been getting installing Windows 7. So this HAS to be to do with a setting somewhere..
Ok, the issue is, it seems my PC cant see the HDD at the right moment. It lists the HDD as one it can install to, I click next, it goes to Copying Windows Files 0%... and sits there, no DVD or HDD access.
When I use Vista t install, it does the same. When I use Visopsys or UBCD to boot, it cant see my HDD at all, but the BIOS lists them every time, so I think this is the root of my problems.
I use SATA, and I seem to remember it giving me grief when I first installed Vista few years ago.
Is this being caused by a lack of SATA drivers within these boot disks and even within the Windows install?
Why would the PC boot seeing the HDD but not detect it within any Boot disk?!
Any help is appreciated
