Hi, So I followed these directions and eventually got my DVD to boot correctly! I saw that both the sata RAID and sata IDE drivers loaded during the setup screen. Alas I still get the dreaded 0x0000007B error. Any clues as to why. I haven't been able to ascertain exactly what driver level my nvidia chipset is - regardless of the instructions saying that the second boot screen should display it I can't seem to find it. I do know from the current Vista install on the machine that the driver loaded for the sata driver is a nForce driver (although the windows device manager info says it is version 10.something). I've checked in my BIOS and although i only have one sata drive it does not let me change the sata mode off of RAID, so I figured I needed to do the typical install, both SATA raid and SATA ide drivers installed as textmode drivers (nLite set one as a BUSDRV type and the other as SCSIadaptor). At this point I'm probably just going to throw some old IDE drives in as boot drives rather than trying to make this work since I'm time limited, but I'd like to know how to make it work for the future on these machines if possible. Thanks
