[davidtaoca]

Hi, I downloaded beta2 ISO yesterday and used DT4.0 to install it. everything runs very well at the beginning, but a error msg came out after vista finish copying files.

"At least one device drive that might be required to start your system is not available.

Device with missing drivers: sillicon scsi controller" ?(I dont remember extactly.)

I had never see this problem before, so I clicked ignore button.after a few secs, vista seems finished all pre-loading, and restart pc itself. I thought I was lucky and I saw a boot menu, but after I chose continue install windows, a **** blue screen came out, ask me check disk, sth wrong with device.... plz use chkdsk /f .etc..............useless..I tried, nothing wrong with my harddrive.

my mobo is kv8-max3.

1 ata maxtor 60g (D: and G:)

2 sata seagate 80g (C: and E:)and 250g (M:)

I want to install vista @ D: driver which is 20gb ntfs partiiton(primary).

anyone can help me? someone told me I d better try DT 3.33 instead of 4.0?

ps:sry for my poor english and description.

you are only going to be able to use d-tools to install to a virtual machine or virtual PC, won't work for you machine, burn it to a DVD if u need dual boot your machine

I heard many ppl successfully installed vista by DT or Alcohol?

1:\ Just make a folder on any drive

2:\ Mount the image

3:\ Copy the entire contents of the dvd to the folder

4:\ Then start the install.
