Vista

HI,

Having a bit of a problem and found this forum.
I was previously running normal 32 bit vista business.
But decided to upgrade to 64 bit.

Installed all componenents, new motherboard ASUS Deluxe, Athlon 6000+,
2gb Corsair ram, ASUS EN8400gs

Nothing else attached at the moment.

I try to boot from DVD, get to the part where I press any button to
boot from dvd and then the computer hangs and then reboots. Can't get
past this stage.
Any ideas?

Been looking around and no one seems to have this problem.
Tested the dvd in a different computer and loads up the installation no
problem.

Double-check all of the connections for the DVD drive, and try a new
DVD drive, if possible.

That eliminates the DVD as the problem.

dvd drive is fine. Got two, one of them giving a BOOTMGR not found and
this one giving this problem.

What may be giving it a problems, is the fact that the MOBO has only
got one IDE Port. Previously I had the Hard drive connected via IDE and
the DVD drive connected via the a sata converter.
On swapping it around I found that I could get access the windows
installation, however it said that my Hard drive (now on the sata
converter) was unsuitable or something along those lines(although
previously had Vista business 32 bit version happily installed), I was
able to format it before it said this however.

Tried connecting both Hard drive and DVD drive using one IDE but for
some reason won't work.

Could it be the software on the chipset? Can I update them without
having to install an opperating system?

Jumper your harddisk as master and your DVD drive as slave. (The little
black things at the back off both drives.

I tried that, but it couldn't find either.

Is it possible to do a DVD and a Hard disk on one IDE?

If so you've saved me a lot of hastle.

It should work when you jumper the hard disk and DVD the way I told you.

When you hook up 2 drives to one IDE channel with the right cable you need
to designate one as Master...the end connection.....and one as Slave..the
middle connection.You also need to set the jumpers on the back of the drive
to the approbriate Master...Slave....Cable Selet position.
In this manner and with the BIOS set to boot the DVD 1st and the HD 2nd you
should be able to install.
Your problem might stem from that IDE to SATA converter.
