peters Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 hey all, i just got the Windows Vista Beta 64bit version, and tried to install it. But i got a problem that keeps me from installing it.When i reach the "Select drivers" part, this message pops up:No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.If i click OK, the installation thinks and comes up with the same message again.

-pops- Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Possibly means 64 bit drivers obtainable from here, I think.As you are currently on a 32 bit system, the correct drivers may not have been loaded.May be wrong on this as I, like everyone else, am not very au fait with Vista yet.Having just checked the link I gave, it seems these drivers are not available yet. In fact, there seems to be no mention of Vista at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peters Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 yea, but as i understand it, it cant find the drivers on the cd which i find a little wierd.. tried to download and burn it again, but no luck :(I dont want to try the 32bit version as i want to test my 64bit system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Did you download your Vista copy or get the disk from MS?If the former, you might be better getting a pre-made "official" disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peters Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I got it from here http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/b...w.dailytech.comThe thing is i dont want to pay about £10 for a copy that might not work anyways ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Hmmmmm.....As I said above, you may be best getting the "official" disk from MS.Although I'm not beta testing Vista myself, I have done testing on a number of previous versions of Wondows and other MS projects. The delivery is quite quick and, in the early days of launch, can be quicker than trying to access over the web.Get it from the official MS site.I noticed on the site that you cannot roll back to your previous Windows installation. This is different to what it used to be and is worth bearing in mind in case you don't get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I noticed on the site that you cannot roll back to your previous Windows installation. This is different to what it used to be and is worth bearing in mind in case you don't get on with it.I wonder why this has changed?Although it appears to have not affected the number of people who are willing to become a BETA tester as according to the Microsoft website:"We are experiencing extremely high download demand at this time."

-pops- Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 The site you refer to as the one you downloaded from does not appear to be an official MS site.Perhaps this may be part of why you are having problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peters Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 i thought it was official, but that might be why :( Is there any official sites where you can get it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 i thought it was official, but that might be why :( Is there any official sites where you can get it from?In the link I gave before there is the opportunity to either download or obtain the disk.
