" Afaik that board should be ok for vista. When you installed vista
was that on a clean hdd, ie formatted with something like killdisk?
Remnants of the of the old os could be giving you the problem.
Make sure bios is configured properly.
Just read your other post, did you go into bios and tell it to treat
sata drives as ide? Insure raid is disabled. Make sure to install
mobo drivers...Is the sata drive plugged into the sata port or the
raid port, it should be in the sata port.
Another thought you may have to get updated chipset drivers for
vista. I believe those are the 975intel chipset drivers."

-It was on a clean HDD, just had got shipped in from Newegg the day before, I had formatted it using the Seagate Disk Wizard tool from their website.
-The BIOS is set up to treat SATA as IDE, RAID is disabled, dunno about the mobo drivers yet, the SATA drives are in the SATA port (When I was installing the drives initially, I had that as a problem as why they wouldn't be detected, but after about a half hour, got it sorted out so that the XP drive (the 120 GiB SATA) was the boot drive again.
-When you say Chipset Drivers, you mean for the motherboard? or the CPU?
