I'm trying to install Vista 64bit on a new build and after going through the language selection and loading the files Vista install pops up this error, what does it mean? Is it asking for a SATA driver for the HDD or drivers for my LG Blue-Ray/HD-DVD drive?

Installing on the following components

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA-II 32MB
Abit AN-M2HD nForce 520 Micro ATX
GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Retail Kit

change the mode of your sata controller to ide or acpi (i think) in the bios to overcome this..

I had this nonsense and the only way I found of resolving it was using a different DVD drive to install.
I then swapped the old drive back in afterwards and it worked fine in Windows... :confused:

It's actually AHCI, but yes, cheers for the info. What a stupid error, it loads all the install files correctly but when it comes to installing Vista it moans there are no DVD drivers for the DVD drive it's just used :confused:
