| | well asrock are not helping at all.... i went to there site last night and sent them a message about the problem and here is the response. "Dear ASRock Costumer, The ASrock mainboard does not passed the vista requirement to install this OS. please visit ASRock website and verify all mainboard certified for VISTA. ASRock does not have driver for the model nor BIOS update ,since ASRock knows this model is not recommended for this OS." my board is a K7S8XE now what pisses me off is that they say that since the model is not recommended there not going to release any bios or updates. errrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol i am so pissed. |

| | My install on a single partitioned HD went seamlessly... I did however have the same lockup issue (at the same place) after rebooting and found out that it was all because of my Bluetooth USB Dongle. Have you guys tryed removing all perf's and rebooting or reinstalling... It could be because of hardware...I would reccomend removing all non-essential hardware (maybe even your NIC) and see what happens... The Motherboard BIOS Update would be a good idea too...(can't hurt anything) Good luck!!! |

| I have little doubt that it's due to my combination of add-in cards, but those cards are essential. Hopefully microsoft will get these bugs out.
It's one thing for an unsupported card to not work or have drivers, it's another to have Vistas PNP subsystem choke every time it encounters it! |

| | I had the same trouble, I found and this my be strange but it worked for me. Go into motherboard bios and disable the onboard 1349 port, this stopped the lock up for me. If you have any more trouble leave the 1394 port disabled, do the normal install process let it copy the files and then gather them and expand them, when your pc does it's first restart after expanding files on reboot hit F8 and select to boot in safe mode it will boot and scroll a list of files and drivers vista is loading and then it will stop and stay at this screen, it will continue to install vista so just leave it, it will take a while so don't be tempted to reset or turn ya pc off it will get there. This worked for me every time. Hope this helps. |
