| Vista Ultimate x64 Installation fails...DVD drive or motherboard? I used my xbox hd dvd drive to install Vista because it consistently failed when I used my internal DVD drive (HP 640b, came with PC) on an Asus motherboard. I saw a forum somewhere claiming that Vista Ultimate x64 installations fail on Asus motherboards... [url]http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:SemEhIg6sb4J:forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx%3FPostID%3D1495264%26SiteID%3D17+dvd+drive+cannot+install+anything+in+vista&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us[/url] Not sure if it is true or not. Having Vista installed, I can't install any programs off my internal DVD drive. I can only view the files and watch movies with it. Any ideas?      |

| Re: Vista Ultimate x64 Installation fails...DVD drive or motherboard? Your link doesn't work for me, but Vista Ultimate 64-bit installed fine on my ASUS A8N-E board. So did the RC1 version. So, obviously, that info is false.
