Right well once again i'm here to leech off people who know what they're doing, my apologies.
Basically i'm installing it on a brand new computer and I get as far as the 'Where do you want to install windows?' screen. It then tells me there are no drives to install it to I have a 250GB Sata Hard drive (it's the Sata bit thats causing the problem right?).
I tried my best at solving it and the problem seems to be that I need new bios for my motherboard (?).
I have an Asus P5ND2 SE and assume the bios I need are version 1.04.12 from:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
If someone can just confirm I am doing the right thing that will be much appreciated.
From here I simply unzip them, burn them to a CD and then insert the CD when vista gets to that stage, browse for them and erm... tada it will detect it?
I found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928231/en-us
I guess thats also the problem but I can't understand what it's on about...
So erm please help / reassure me, if you need me to post more information then i'll try. Thanks in advance
EDIT - Well I got them and chucked them on the disk but it didn't do anything... AAAAAARGH WHY THE HELL DID I BUY VISTA
