well i just finished installing vista nad a funny little thing happened... so here
goes i recently moved from a 80gb sata harddrive (originally xp turned to vista)
to a 250gb sata harddrive (brand new new xp) 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
