I hope someone can help me with this cos it's driving me mad!

While trying to do a fresh install of vista 32bit on my second hard drive, it gets stuck when doing the first restart.

I just get a blank screen with a flashing cursor on the top corner, or if the boot setting is to boot from cd first I get the message to press any key and it never goes past that.

It's like the MBR doesn't exist or something. I've booted into xp from the other HD to check but I don't know what I'm looking for.

I installed vista onto my other machine's RAID array no problem so I thought this one would be even easier!

:confused:
 
All sorted now!

Believe it or not but it was down to overclocking! I loaded BIOS defaults and hey presto it worked! Bizarre.

If anyone knows why this was causing problems, I'd love to know.
