I mostly need to access windows because i am overclocking my CPU and there are not any tools really available for linux to aid to that, but if you do know of some please let me know thnx

That's actually how i got it to install in the first place. So yes, this all happens while the other hdds are unplugged.

I would suggest you to ask for suggestion in Windows Forum only. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First

Gah, i give up... windows just fails in general. I've been using linux for 5 years now, and it's going to stay that way. thanks for your help anyway man, appreciate it.

Workaround: • Remove 2 GB of RAM, and then restart the installation process. After Windows Vista is installed, reinstall the RAM. If this fails resort to Workaround #2: Patch for this issue: download here
