install completed

I had to install on a pata drive as it would not install on me sata. even thought vista now does see my sata drive on " (my) computer " The 1st install that completed kept rebooting after reaching the black screen. So i re-formatted and tried again and this time it worked. The only problem i have now is when i reboot i get the blue screen of death and reboots and when im prompted to to select safe mode etc. I then select " last known config " and all goes well. Has not started as normal as yet. Having trouble installing my modem also.. Im hoping once ive installed the modem i can the install the 64x beta drivers that nvidia have on their site.. or just save it to me sata on slave. Im well chuffed with the way it looks so far. i did have my doubts after downloading it 6 times! lol. The one that worked is the one that didn`t crash though downloading and when i didn`t pause i just left it running. So the best bet is don`t do either. Takes a canny while to install. But looks like its worth the wait so far. Will reply to questions if anyone has any. I`ll reply to this post of any more problems i encounter
