anlaoch Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi.I'm trying to install vista basic on an Acer 5315 in which I've just fitted a brand new hdd. The install goes like this..."Press any key to boot from cd" <enter>"Windows is loading files...""Microsoft Corporation" (with moving dots)Blue / Green themed screen....hangs....The install never goes beyond the blue/green Vista screen. I saw on some other sites that you should change the SATA drive from AHCP to IDE mode in the BIOS which I did, but no change.Btw, Intel Celeraon 540 cpu, 1gb of RAM and new drive is 250gb.Any idea what's up and how I get Vista basic to install?Thanks.
