GA-G41M-ES2L Cant read hard drive to install Vista
« on: October 14, 2009, 02:05:53 pm »
Just put a GA G41M ES2L to replace ASUS motherboard. Vista running fine before but although MB sees the Hitachi 320GB HDD, it wont load windows. Have tried to reinstall with Vista OS disc but just stops to say it cant see anywhere to load up (ie cant see HDD).

Have tried to download Gigabyte drivers but they dont seem to help (can only unpack 2 out of 4) and they seem to be audio and other drivers anyway.

Can anybody help, I am beginning to wish I had stayed with ASUS.

Is this on a fresh install of windows I.E booting from CD/DVD? Have you tried different SATA modes? IE SATA or AHCI?
