Are you running at least the F6 bios?

Hey everybody,
I'm really having trouble getting vista 32 onto my system. I've been searching all over the net and I've still havent found an answer that works yet. Here's what I have:
Q6600 G0
TRUE 120
1gb x 4 = 4gb Ballistix
EP35-DS3R rev 2.1 upgraded bios from f2 to f3b
8800gts 512mb
WD Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA
Samsung 20x DVD Burner SATA
Solo Case
The problem I'm having is when I get into the Vista installation and I install the ich9r drivers from my usb, the hard drive is still not recognized. I also notice when it boots that when the ich9r is scanning for devices, it only detects my dvd drive and not my hard drive. Ive read somewhere maybe this is because my hard drive has not been partitioned or formatted yet. I don't what to do so I can get my ich9r to recognize my drive. I know people have gotten to where I am but are able to load the drivers for ich9r and see a partition they can install too. Anybody with any advice?

you might have a problem installing Vista b/c you have 4GB of RAM there. Some how Vista will blue screen with 4GB of RAM before updates. In your case you have 1X4GB instead of 2X2GB which you can take one stick out.

Hi Mike,
Tried all that still no luck. Ive tried both the ACHI mode and the RAID mode, both do not detect my hard drive in port 0. Port 1 is listed as my dvd which is correct. I wonder if there is something going on with my drive? Its a brand new drive...

Question about the CPU Voltage Control setting in the BIOS, i need a little more volts to my CPU so i set the value at 1.35000V from the default (i know big jump), but when i reboot and go back into the BIOS under PC Health Status, it shows that i am only pushing 1.280V? So, is that number in the MB Intelligent Tweaker section of the BIOS a maximum, or is my power supply not good enough to push the correct voltage to the CPU?
Thanks,
Chris

Anyone else can confirm that this board can use a USB flash drive to update the BIOS through the built in QFlash utility?

Weird problem after going into sleep mode....
So I set my computer to sleep mode overnight, and in the morning, when I wake the computer, it just spins up for a second, and shuts off. Hit the power button, spins up, shuts off.
I turn off the switch on the back of the PSU, turn it back on, computer boots up, but goes right into Windows, like from sleep. Is this a problem I can fix? Just curious.

I have noticed the same symptoms, did you figure out the issue? I am concerned that maybe my CoolerMaster ExtremePowerDuo 600W might not be as good as the Antec Trio 650W that i have on my other Gigabyte boards... I had already tested the setup with an E6700 running at 3.33 Ghz with 2 instances of Prime95 for 12 hours - no errors. So i felt like the OC was stable...
