I have a Sony Vaio, FE series notebook, 1gb ram, 100gb hd, running core duo
processors. The current os is XP Pro with 2005 media center. My notebook is
listed as vista capable and the vista pre-installer verifies I am compatible.
After downloading 32bit ISO and successfully burning a disk, I cannot finish
install. Once I get to the point checking for upgrades, I get a run-time
error.

Any suggestions?

Mike,

Look down in the postings here and check your disk or download with the MD5
checksum site. This will tell you if your download was truely viable and
workable.

Otherwise, if you are technically capable of formatting your disk and then
attempting to load Vista to it. I recommend that download all the drivers
from Sony's support web site for XP and Vista where possible and have your
resoration CD handing in case the install w/ Vista doesn't work out.

SAVE YOUR DATA!!!!

good luck!

Unable to install Vista

Posted: 02-24-2007, 02:41 AM

Hello. I am unable to install Vista. I get the following error message,
"Close Windows installation and contact the device manufacturer for updated
driver software for these devices:
SCSI and RAID controllers: HDS725050KLA360"

Dell support says I can't upgrade to Vista. Hitachi, the maker of the
HDS725050KLA360 says no driver is needed and go ahead and install Vista. I
can't, the installer won't go any further. Any ideas?

What model Dell is it? What install is looking for is not drivers for the
Hitachi hard drive itself, but for the controller on the motherboard. (SCSI
and RAID).

nVidia storage controller for the SATA hard drives I believe the XPS has.
However, I can't determine exactly which nVidia controller it is.
http://support.dell.com/support/down...os=WLH&osl=EN#
<- you need to add that last character.

Dell has Vista drivers for the XPS 600 on their website. Installing Vista
in the first place is the hard part - the SATA controller drivers need to be
on a floppy, cd, or USB drive during install (Load Drivers button).

Scotts,

I'd call Dell Support again and tell them "The hell I can't!" I have to
agree with Jane, the hard drive itself has absolutely nothing to do with this
not being able to install, the controller of this hard drive is what causing
the problem. Dell know to have this problem of going from one version of
Windows to the next. I had a similar problem going from XP Media to XP Pro
(clean install), so I have to slipstream XP CD with SP2 in order to install
XP Pro. Thus far, you can't do that yet, you would have to install the
controller manually as described by Jane.
