White-Fusion: Fuck; +616|6819|Scotland

I tried to format my computer today as I do every 4-6 months.

New hardware since last time is

ATI 4870 graphics card
Logitech Z-5500 speakers (I unplug them though)

It goes through the first part where it says "loading keyboard drivers etc" the very first stage as you boot from disk. Then when it says "starting windows" I get this:

Gonna try again after a clean of the disk (wasn't that bad)

If nothing will go to Vista and see if it's any better than when I last had it.

All Microsoft brings back is using a Sysprep package made on an Intel, deployed to a non-Intel system.

Take out your RAMs.

I did find this:

The short answer appears to be this: Not all Vista Ultimate upgrades are equal or the same; there's more than one flavor out there, and some versions go apoplectic when you have more than 2 GB or RAM and a couple of memory-mapped devices like video cards or giga-bit ethernet cards, or, well, whatever. Strip your memory back to 2 GB and pull everything out of the PCI or PCIe slots except for one video card, and your install should go fine. And, resist the urge to install any drivers that came with your mobo until after the installation has completed, and you've updated Windows from the web with every recommended upate. Then stuff you slots again, and put the other 6 GB of RAM on your mobo and everything should be fine.

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

I had this issue, had to remove the two GB, install, update then put the two GB back in ... silly

I had this too with Nforce mobo. ^ is the fix.

If it isn't, you have to do the format with some format tool. After that Vista will install just fine.

Weird, I expected this when I installed Ultimate x64. Never had it.
