ok so i dont have exactly these problems but verry close lol. so here goes i recently
moved form a 80gb sata harddrive to a 250gb sata harddrive everything went smoothly
(install xp, transfer files, set setttings, etc.) well that where the smooth ride
ended i formatted the old 80 gb harddrive for use with vista and proceeded to install
vista it all seemed to go fine until... yup major frigging roadblock i went to reboot
into my xp install to get a few files for vista since my vista wireless isnt set
up yet and it wont let me boot xp. so i unplugged the 80 gb harddrive containing
vista and tried again. no sych luck just told me that the bios defaults were loaded
due to an invalid checksum/"UPDATE" and those are almost the exact words and im sure
you notice what word leads in the direction im going well after loading past the
text it just started flickering my screen and not booting into xp so im here with
a copy of vista i really dont want to use other than for testing vistas capabilities
on my system and its not even activated and i cant even get my graphics or wireless
drivers without xp so any help would be hot thx in advance
