Hi,

Just built a new system today, all bought from ocuk:

Q6600
Abit IP35
4Gb Corsair
150Gb Raptor
8800GTX

Trying to install Vista x64 and when it starts for the 1st time then reboots again it fails! If I leave the dvd in it just goes back to the installation start. If I take it out it just says invalid boot disk.

The dvd was burnt myself from an image direct from microsoft.

I have tried all my voltages etc, boot prioritys, default settings etc.

Do you think I have a corrupt disk and should redownload? just seems unlikely.

I have built and installed many pc's over the years, but as always its a new one on me. Very frustrating when I just want to play with my new machine.

Cheers.
 
Thanks.

Tried another HDD and it worked 1st time!! Cant believe things like this get through QC.

I will try and mirror the image of the old hdd to the raptor.
