installing vista beta2 error

Helo just trying tonight and install a clean installation of Vista.
although just in the start of the installation it hangs and does nothing. This is a totally new computer so there is nothing on the disk.
it gets to the part where system says. "windows is loading Files" and when its done it gets me to another screen where its just says "Windows © 2006 Microsoft Corporation" and then nothing happends. have waited for 2 hours and still nothing..
anybody got a clue??

Sounds like your new computer has a SATA hard drive. Are you providing it the drivers?

Ok now i have done some seriuos testing.. .
First tryed different DVD players = Nothing Tryed another Sata Disk then my Raptor 10000Rpm 150 Western-D, disk= Nothing Then Downloaded new ISO from microsoft= Nothing Then Doing atleast 50different Test with various setting in BIOS=Nothing Then Installing Normal XP Sp1 and then start Vista installation from there choosing Complete installation. and it proceeds and then wants to reboot computer and at the reboot.. When the "Loading" bar shows at the bottom of the screen = NOTHING.. it just hangs. Then Now just recently Tested started the reboot in "Safe Mode" by pressing F6 and load from there and it seems fine, loading different files on the screen untill \$WINDOWS.~BT\Windows\System32\drivers\disk.sys, and there it just hangs.
so i guess either Windows/microsoft dosnt support my hardware or the file is corrupt..

Ok i have managed to get to the installation of vista. :)
what was the error then? well i have tested different settings, different updates different of everything. and it all turned out to be the BFG Gforce7950 SLI card..
i just took that of the motherboard and put in a normal PCI graphic card and wops.. "Welcome To Vista Installation"
lol.. owell.. it is a Beta.. but damn.. that was the last thing i thought abut especially as the file that was halted was called "disk.sys" and everyone seems to talk about SATA incompatibly etc..
