pata sata

i can install beta 2 on a pata drive but can not install on a sata drive!
it gets to 27% expanding files and then restarts. on the screen with the progress bar is when it stalls!
it sees the drive fine so i know i dont need to load drivers as is the same with xp i dont need to load drivers for xp either!
i dont want to dual boot and switchin hard drives is really starting to suck
thanks for any help

At what point of the installation process are you loading your SATA drivers?

I did an install on a SATA 2 drive and it worked fine. Sounds like there is some other problem. You might try using another install DVD. The one you have may have a corrupt file on it.

Just because it worked for XP does NOT mean it will work for Vista suggest you locate those Sata drivers and load them during the Vista install peter

I get the first reboot at about that point in Expanding Files. The reboot is expected behavior. This is also the point at which the installation will fail if the drive controller driver is not available to setup. You should provide the driver for your controller via the Load Drivers button at the beginning of Setup.

ok all thanks for the replys
mark - i dont as it dose not ask for them because it already sees the drive.
john - it installs fine on a pata drive no problem from a dvd ,a mounted ..iso , or files copied to hard drive... but sata dose the same thing no matter how i go about tring to install it

it gets to 27% expanding files and then restarts. on the screen with the progress bar is when it stalls!

peter - sorry same answer as i give to mark above-i dont as it dose not ask for them because it already sees the drive.
i have tried to install from sata partition c with xp to clean partition d for vista -

it gets to 27% expanding files and then restarts. on the screen with the progress bar is when it stalls!

i have tried to install from PATA partition c to clean SATA partition d from dvd ,ect still no luck
i am very frustrated as to this install on sata..... i have tried every differant way i can to install it but still no go

I'm lost here. I have three SATA drives on my machine (only one PATA DVD-ROM), and I have no problems at all installing Vista. Could this be due to a lack of motherboard drivers?

Some motherboards have the SATA drivers in firmware. Some, often with via chipsets, do not and the user has to supply the drivers.

thank for the replies all
this is what i have found out the chipset is a uli s1689 the sata driver i need is a ali sata controller m5289 yes the driver is part of the firmware i have the 5 in 1 driver disc for this mobo but vista says no drivers on disk! soooo ...i have been looking everywhere for just the sata driver and have not been able to find it at all! and no i'm not able to pull it off the driver disk as it is a intagrated driver disk !
in the bios i am able to change the sata type to ide (meaning no raid) or other mass storage (meaning raid). to install xp i had it set to ide and it works fine. for vista i tried ide install on clean hd 27% expanding files restart progress bar then bsod with code 0x0000009c or 0x00000004 or 0x00070f0.
other mass storage needs the drivers whitch it dosnt want to see!
so im in a little boat with a big hole, no bucket, and sinking quick roflol
help mike

some driver cd have a program to build a floppy disk then copy drivers to the root of the floppy disk or thumb drive

I see your problem My ULI M1695/M1567 chipset drivers did not install from the CD either...and the making of a floppy worked but Vista did not recognize the driver package....said it was only for XP.Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 motherboard. Nowhere under Device Manager does it list a SATA controller only a ULI M5229 PCI Bus Master Controller as well as a Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller.The drive does seem a little slower than I am used to under XP
But Vista 64 bit installed without a hitch using its own build in drivers,I installed from scratch with nothing on either Hard drive ,,SATA and PATA both empty .I installed onto the SATA drive.My BIOS lets me chose which drive to start from and if I chose tp start from the PATA drive it will not start...it will only start from the SATA drive so I know Vista is on the drive and working.

hey colin
the 5 in 1 driver disk is what came with my motherboard it has all the drivers needed integrated into one install package for the motherboard. the only thing is i can find the sata drivers but i dont know how to install them as they are .inf files and vista wont recognize them either.
on the otherhand an up date i got vista to install by upgradeing xp sp2 without any updates for xp!
i still need to know how to pull the drivers off the disk and to make them work by themselfs with out the 5 in 1 installer so i can do a kleen install

Put all the files in the root. Don't use any folders at all. You shouldn't have to do it this way, but we used to have to in TechBeta in the earlier builds.
