Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>installation_setup (more info?)
Ive had a strange problem happen twice now. Ive installed Vista on many
PC's, but the last two i have done have caused problems. They are new
builds with fresh harddrives (SATA). Everything is going fine and Vista
installs without problems. When i deliver the pc's to my clients i pop
their old HDD and put it either in an external HDD caddy or on an IDE cable.
I try and copy some files across (documents / photos) from then on i have
problems. The PC's lock up when trying to access programs etc. Vista takes
ages too boot up etc.

Has anyone else had this problem, anyone got any ideas on how to start to
resolve the issue. I dont fancy having to do reinstalls.

Adrian

It looks like it might be a ahrddrive problem as i keep getting I/O errors
and security problems when pressing ctrl-alt-del. Strange to have 2
different machines so close have similar problems. Wonder if its a driver
issue with the maxor drives.
