akmad Installing the Vista Feb CTP 5308 on a nForce4 SATA Drive
This weekend I decided to install the Feburary CTP of Windows Vista (build number 5308), a task that I was expecting would take a couple hours. It ended up taking most of the weekend. I thought I would share the steps needed to install this CTP on a nForce4 motherboard as there are some steps you have to follow that are not really obvious.
The main problem I had was getting the Vista installer to see my SATA partitions, RAID or just normal drives. My current setup has three SATA hard drives, two are set up in a RAID 0 (striped) array and another drive for the system files and additional storage. The problem I would show up in two places, depending on how I started this installation. (As an aside, note that the important files on the RAID array are backed up every night because if one drives goes all that data is lost. I use Nero BackItUp as it was included free with my DVD burner and it has worked great.)
If I started the installation from the DVD I could not see any of my drives when you need to select where to install Vista. There is an option to load drivers but the drivers disk that came with my motherboard didn't work. If I started the install from Windows XP I could select the the partition I had set aside for Vista and everything seemed to work fine until I had to reboot into Vista for the first time. I would get a BSOD every time with a 0x0000007B stop code; I figured this is likely to be an issue loading the SATA driver given my previous problems and the typical nature of 7B errors (or at least that's what is seemed like given the searches I did on it).
Figuring out that the SATA drivers were likely the problem didn't help much as figuring out which drivers I needed proved difficult. After a couple hours of looking around I found a post near the bottom of
this thread which details how to get your SATA drives to be visible to the Vista installer.
The install process basically goes like this:
Download the nForce4 AMD 6.7 drivers (found
here).
Once downloaded and extracted I copied the SATA drivers from the C:\NVIDIA\nForceWin2KXP\6.70\IDE\WinXP\sata_ide folder onto a floppy.
Start the Vista install from XP (2k, 2k3). I suspect you can also start from the DVD but I didn't try this so I cannot be sure.
During the install process where you select which drive to click the Load Driver link. Note you need to do this even if you can see your drive/partition in the list.
Select the first "NVIDIA nForce4 Intel Edition Serial ATA Controller" or "NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA Controller". I used the "NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA Controller" as I have an AMD machine. The second drivers may work but I used the first and it worked fine.
You should be all set to install Vista.
Hope this helps someone. If this doesn't work for you feel free to post a question in the Ask Wes forum.
