Q: I do not know if this is a hardware problem or not, but maybe someone knows something here that might help.
I my full retail copy of Vista Business (32bit) from this thing together today.
Installed power as an upgrade from within Windows XP Pro. After it is all done trying to install and boot, it BSODs before I even see the desktop. At first I thought it might be because I overclock, but I reinstalled with everything in stock and still has the same.
I did notice that when I tried to install it, it said my “SCSI and RAID drivers “were incompatible, but I do not use SCSI or RAID .
I used Vista betas on my previous hardware is what so I think it might be a hardware problem, but Im not sure. Any ideas?

Re:Well, clean install works so far. Didn't BSOD on boot
Clean install worked great – everything is up and running smoothly!
Viva la Vista!

Re:Well I reinstalled Vista. BSOD'd again on boot.
I booted into the CD, and hit repair. It found my drives OK, so I selected the one with Vista and hit continue.
For the last 10 minutes it's been at the "Setup Repair is checking your system for problems…" screen just "searching for problems" this whole time.
I don't think it's really doing anything. I guess I'll just do a clean install.

by mass storage driver I mean your SCSI, RAID **OR** SATA driver.
I'm betting you're running an SATA driver leftover from XP. Get into setup and up to that disk screen then provide a driver that is Vista compatible. I wish I could be more specific but I don't have the setup sequence memorized just yet. Sorry.
Ignoring an incompatible mass storage driver warning during an upgrade is kinda asking for trouble. 
I'll poke around and see what I can do. I had already rolled back to XP so it might be a while.
If it doesn't work I'll just try a clean install.

Re:Can you elaborate a little more on the mass storage driver? Isn't that for USB? I don't have any external USB drives…

Re:sounds like a stop 7B from a bad mass storage driver.
Fire up setup again to repair things (don't have the step by step memorized yet, sorry ). This time through be sure to provide a mass storage driver.
