Hi.
I've been eager to test windows vista for quite some time, and finally I have the chance to do it legit. However, Im struck by complications to begin with.
My system is running on a raid 0 configuration, and I have to load my s-ata driver. I had a lot of trouble finding the correct one, but I eventually found the newest supplied from the manufacturer of my s-ata chipset.
Im installing vista from a burned out iso, called vista_5384.4.060518-1455_winmain_beta2_x86fre_client-LB2CFRE_EN_DVD.iso
It boots, I start the installation, I get to the harddrive selection and I have to switch discs and load the s-ata driver, which vista luckily automaticly detects and then detects my raid 0 disc. I then switch back the disc to the installation disc naturally, and starts the installation on my selected harddrive.
And thats where the joy ends, you'd think it would be pancakes from here, but the installation breaks and asks me to insert the windows installation disc 1. With only having one DVD disc burned out (the one and only supplied), Im thinking it might be the loading of the driver that somehow has broken the installation script.
Anyone who has experienced the same, or has some suggestions on whats happening before I try again.

Loading raid driver. Possible broken script.
This really isn't a fix, but I believe you can load a driver off a floppy disk or usb drive, if you have such a drive or a floppy drive you could put the sata driver on that and then leave the disk in your computer.
