All of that was great...

Until...

I have a Plextor SATA burner (sigh), and it is plugged into a Marvell port. I made the *HUGE* mistake of attempting to install the Marvell RAID driver from Intel's site. Immediate BSOD. Of course, now Vista (Ultimate 32) won't boot at ALL. It hangs on the Marvell driver file. No Safe mode, no last known good configuration - I don't know what to do. I NEED to get rid of that driver somehow.

I put in the Vista DVD, and attempt to boot using it, but after it loads files (white progress bar), it shows the green progress bar (like when you see Vista loading), but it just keeps moving forever... nothing is happening! What gives?

Is there a problem with booting Vista from a DVD drive on this MB?? I am booting using an old IDE Toshiba DVD drive. Any ideas??

In the BIOS, disable the Secondary SATA Controller (the Marvell). Vista should now boot. Go to Device manager and check View/Show Hidden Devices. Right click on the 2 Marvell devices and uninstall them. Go to Windows\System32\drivers and delete mv61xx.sys. Reboot.
