How can I install Windows Vista RC1 from Windows XP using the new your "Brandnew method". Shouldn't Windows Vista asks for a RAID driver during the installation? or not? Another question, why did you proposed the use of nVidia version 6.85 and not 6.86? UPDATE: OK, I installed the OS using your new method. There weren't any endless reboots BUT, however, the system booting is extremely (VERY VERY) slow and I found that Windows has defined the "Primary IDE Channel" which I disabled from the BIOS and I found something for the first time "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller". What do you think is going on? BTW, I'm using an nForce4 motherboard with 2 SATA hard disk as RAID0 and 1 PATA DVD Writer as a "Slave" of the "Secondary Channel". Drivers used: 6.86
