Hey Closeup and Forum,
there's two painful issues now, first: The laptop has been formatted (no os in it at all) so when I put in the windows vista cd (vista installation DVD) the machine begins to boot and load windows vista. it goes through the "select language" etc... then the enter your activation key, to the upgrade or custom install section, now, I then click the custom install tab, it goes to the "choose which drivers to install" I then load a separate cd with the necessary drivers and that's' when all hell breaks loose, that's when the pop ups make their debut, "drivers not found", "unable to install" etc... The second issue is with my desktop, as of last night the windows vista on my desktop won't load, it begins to load, it goes to the black screen where the microsoft rectangular motions bar shows the left to right motions as if it's loading but its not and while this is going on the cpu makes an clicking sound. I think my desktop (with vista) is mad at me for trying to downgrade my laptop (to xp), it's as if they both said "well smart ass lets see how you function now with no working laptop or desktop HA HA HA HA!!!!"
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Did you try without the "custom" option. I would let it try to install Vista and then install the drivers after it has completed. It may be looking for RAID drivers only during the custom install.
Good Luck
