Trying to install Vista x64 on my new Q6600 Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 system and it takes for ever to initialize. I have 4 SATA drives. 2 x 36gb Raptors in raid 0 for a boot drive and 2 x 300gb Seagates in raid 0 for data. What happens is when I boot off of my Vista Ultimate dvd, it gets to the nice green->blue screen and sits there for about 3 minutes. It then puts up a Please Wait message and sits there for a couple minutes and then it finally provides the window to select the language/keyboard/etc. I can then go through the screens to install. I tried it without the above raid configuration and it does the same thing. Yes, once I have Vista installed, how often will I re-install.. Not sure, but I'm wondering more from a "Is there a issue with drivers/config/whatever" and if someone has experienced this and fixed it, I'd like too also.
