I have to have my Vista disc in my "C:" drive before Windows Vista will boot up. Any suggestions on eliminating the need for the disc to allow Windows to boot up would be a great help.

Vista is highly particular when it comes to the drives that are connected to your computer during the install process. If it detects a mix of ATA (Advanced Technology Attachments), SATA (Serial ATA) and even USB drives, the boot configuration can get corrupted, leading to problems such as requiring the Vista disc to be in the drive for booting. To avoid this and other boot-related problems, connect only the primary hard drive before installing Vista and leave all other drives and memory card readers disconnected until you have sucessfully installed the Vista Operating System. If you have already installed Vista and now have this problem, try performing a clean Vista installation following these guide lines. |
