You need to check that your MoBo chipset can handle windows 7

ICH6 and upwards I think and other chipsets hit and miss.

The standard Windows 7 SATA driver apparently does not handle the ICH6 Southbridge properly on some Intel boards and some AMD boards have issues also
and as far as I know you need at least ICH6 (but don't quote me on that) all I am saying is check things there.

I've run Vista/XP and Windows 7 beta ok (that was iICH5 I recon) but had to drop it when I went to Win7 to many issues, especially x64/x86 collisions. xp still lives in the old hard drive in the cupboard

Here's a clip

Quote:
I'm trying to install 7RC on a Dell Gen 2 3.2GHz P4 running XP Pro. The reported chipset is Intel 875P. Installation gets me as far as a screen that shows my 2 HD's and their partitions. I get 'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows needs the driver device [Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller]. Click 'Load Driver' and load the required device driver'. Well, first of all I think that I'd like to make drive 0 one partition - I'm not sure why there is a 39MB (38MB free) Fat32 OEM reserved partion as partion 1. The other partition is Drive 0 Partition 2 C: 111.7GB 52.4GB Free System. After that, it says I need to load a driver. The Win 7 Upgrade Advisor says the I have an Intel 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controller, and that it's compatible, but if that is true I would think that the install could proceed. I've no idea what the difference may or may not be between the ER and EB, but I can't get past this point. I searched the web looking for a 82801ER SATA RAID Controller driver to no avail. I'm not sure how I'd try to load it during the installation if I did have it unless I can swap out the install iso dvd with a driver cd and then put the install dvd back in the drive. By the way, I'm not trying to do a RAID array, I just have two drives.

i am so lucky

i didn't uninstall the ati 3100 video drivers
i found out i can't grand father in the PCie 16x video card, its too fat to fit into the computer housing for the area it need to slip into the pcie 16x slot

tower is 4inch and the PCIe video card is 4.5 inch wide
front to back its ok, but side to side its to wide

will have to order another type of PCIe 16x video card later on, no to wide side to side

basic the tower lays on it side like a brief case box like shape to say
15in front to back x 4in top to bottom x 15in wide side to side

So sorry to hear that Chief
Not much you can do about it what about the old tower?
or - Buy an empty or second hand useless PC just for the box, if big enough, rip out the old and in with all your goodies.
