Just a few small questions here...this means that we can't slipstream the INTEL Matrix driver during installation...right ? and must be installed after the installation.

We have to install in AHCI mode and Flash Cache Enabled mode from Bios to install Vista ...right ?


Thanks

I used the SP1 disc of Vista Ultimate when I switched to 64 bit and did not have to load the Intel storage driver during installation. All went smooth even with AHCI enabled in the BIOS. Can anyone confirm if they were successful like me. Are these drivers now integrated in the SP1 disc?

erm...I seem to be getting the dreaded 0x80070017 error...could not load files...any ideas how to fix this... ?

EDIT: never mind fixed it...burnt the ISO at 2x
Now have awroking vista x64 installation !
