Default [Pending] Install Problems

i just built a new pc
after i installed vista, i loaded a few drivers for the various hardware and such, and tried to reboot. After the bios,vista starts to load and goes to the black screen where it tells me it cant read any of the files.

I tried to reinstall. and after the reinstall vista boots, tells me it has hard disk problems. And the same thing happens when i reboot.

The version of Vista is Microsoft Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVD

Default Re: Install Problems

Hello Srockwell1207 Welcome to PCHF

What I would suggest doing is downloading Western Digital's hard drive diagnostic tool. It is a free diagnostic that will test the integrity of your hard drive.

Downloads

Download the Data Lifeguard Tools 11.2 for DOS (CD). Create a bootable CD with it and boot to the CD then run the diagnostic. It will tell you if your hard drive is failing.

Hope that helps!
