I have an older system currently running Vista Home Premium x64. It is a Biostar K8NHA Grand nForce 3 250 chipset board, Athlon 64 3400+ (2.4Ghz) CPU, 2Gb ram, MSI GeForce 7600GT 512mb AGP video card, Maxtor 340Gb IDE HD and an NEC IDE DVD burner. Runs Vista x64 fine, only used connected to a TV for streaming Netflix, online TV shows, etc.
When trying to install Win 7 RC x64 after I click on the install screen, I get a message saying it needs a driver for the CD/DVD device. I have pointed it to look in the Vista system32/drivers, an nVidia folder with IDE drivers but it keeps telling me no driver found. Why would 7 need a driver for a standard IDE device? It reads the hard drive OK so I am assuming it has some IDE interface controller installed. I had uninstalled the anti-virus program in Vista before I ran the 7 RC install just in case.
