Been trying to install vista beta for a while but I keep getting this message
after the first boot

File:$windows.~BT\windows\system3\drivers\sym_hi.s ys
Status:0XC000000F
Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or
corrupt

I believe this is a SCSI driver, which I dont have any in my machine. Im
doing a clean install. my hardware is an ASUS A8N mb with a athlon 64 X2 cpu.

Any thoughts??

Thanks
