Hi folks.

My woes with Vista / HTPC continue....

I had to replace my HDD because Vista thinks it's corrupt. XP does not
mind it though.
So, I buy a new 500GB SATA2 and put that in. Put in Vista HP DVD and
start the process. Again.
MB is set to boot from DVD, then HDD.

Install and everything is ok.
Run all the patches etc and vista looks good to go.
Change bios back to boot from HDD first and disable all others.
Reboot.
Missing boot device.
huh?
Change back to DVD first then HDD and try again
