I took a break from trying to install it, now I"m back.

Here's a rundown on how it goes. They want you to run the disk while you're in Windows, in both instances where it whipes the drive clean or doing an upgrade, it runs through and copies the files fine, but when it reboots and tries to continue the install process, I get a general "blue screen".

When I try running the install fresh from a reboot (without doing it within windows first), it goes to a blank screen with a little line that moves, kinda like the XP line when you boot up, however it sits there. I did hear that it sometimes takes up to 20 minutes, so I let that sit there for over a half hour, the hard drive doesn't do anything, so I'm assuming it's not doing anything. After it does that, I reboot and let it go back into the install, then I get the page fault message.

As far as my ram being bad, I have no problems in XP. I do have 4 gigs of ram though, so I'm not sure if that's why it's giving a problem ?? Other than that, my system is pretty powerful. I have an AMD FX60 CPU and 2 Nvidia Geforce 7900 GTXs SLI'd.

When I ran the compatability, it said that the only problems were my sound card and video card, but they do all have Vista drivers, so I figured that I could just install them afterwards.

I'm not sure what to do here, I guess I'll tinker around some more.
