Having terrible trouble installing Vista 64 on a single Sata HDD (Western Digital Caviar SE16 - 500GB).
Power management has been set to:
Hpet Mode 64 Enabled
Peripherals tested:
IDE - No suitable drivers
AHCI - Finds GIGABYTE GBB36X*
Raid/IDE - Finds GIGABYTE GBB36X*
* When I click on the driver, Vista appears to do something, hangs for a bit, then says no suitable device was found (I find this strange because the "Hide drivers that are not compatible with hardware on this system." is ticked).
I have plugged the Sata HDD into one of the purple ports on the MOB and made sure I have disabled SATA RAID/AHCI Mode and SATA Port0-3 Native Mode in the BIOS.
The HDD shows up in Post.. but has not yet been reformatted. I have not placed any jumpers on the HDD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am the point of sending the HDD back.
