ATTN: People who's vista installations fail to boot.

I was up all night trying to figure out what the hell was causing these
problems until I finally found the silly culprit: my RAID and SATA/SATAII
controllers, I wasn't using either of those, so I went into my BIOS and
disabled them, and vista booted up like magic. Turned them on again and
failure came back, turned them off and vista booted again, so failure to boot
seems to be dependent on those SATA/RAID drivers, so be sure to try disabling
them if your Vista installation fails to start. Previous to that the only way
I could even install vista was through safe mode, which sucked.

How do you Disable thouse Controllers in BIOS cuz i have that exact problem
