O.K. found it, thanks. :D They sure tucked that one away just a bit. It is even harder to find that wizard later when you have already set it to Aero. Not very intuitive on their part. Thanks again.

I don't see an option for Aero. I would post a screen shot of what my options are but I do not see a way to post an image or file. My options are: My current Theme Windows Vista (this is what it is set to) Windows Classic Browse... Any further suggestions?

Isn't Home Premium supposed to have the Aero functionality? If yes, I can't seemed to find a setting anywhere to invoke it. Also the live thumbnails do not pop up when hovering over my taskbar programs. Any help would be appreciated.

Well Vista is loaded, but it is telling me I have 2.8gb of ram. What gives? I installed 4 gb (4-1's) and even during the boot up it indicates 4 gb of memory. So why does Vista (Home Premium) only indicate 2.8? Anyone load Vista and experience the same thing?

I think I found the culprit. The first time I went through the process of setting the bios and then running the system, the IDE master was set to the DVD drive. When it tried to run windows and install the software it recognized that this drive was not an appropriate bootable disk, so it...

If I hooked up a FDD that connects via USB, would the BIOS recognize it so that I can load drivers if that is what the system needs? or should I just borrow a FDD from another computer I have? Something like this: "MITSUMI Black 1.44MB 3.5" Internal USB 2.0 digital card reader with Floppy...

Thanks for the reply. Well my raid is disabled and the beginning install of Vista does not prompt for the install of a driver (doesn't have the F6 that you mention). To add to this, I do not have a FDD connected to this system. Question: Is this going to be a problem not having a FDD...

Next problem. I went through the bios settings and proceeded to install windows vista 32 bit. On the wizard screen showing my two SATA drives, there are notes for each drive, "This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the...

Thanks for the reply. I finally found the culprit. I didn't connect a power source to the graphics card. When I did, everything booted up just fine and the squeal did not exist anymore. I was fooled by the motherboard instructions. They have instructions to provide power to the motherboard...

I just completed the install of all my components in the case and turned the PC on and all I get is a loud squeal from the PC. Does anyone have the same MB that can help diagnose what I may have hooked up incorrectly? Nothing shows up on the monitor (blank screen). The LCD on the MB cycles...
