Hi everybody, I'm looking for help on installing vista home premium 64
on a brand new pc.

The system as follows:

WV Home Premium 64 SP1 Original DVD

Intel I7 @ 2.67
MoBo MSI X58B-A
EVGA GTX260 896Mb DDR3
3x 2GB Kingston 1066 DDR3 (6GBtotal) MoBo certified
1Tb Hitachi HD

The situation is I first installed with all 6Gb, sata controller on
Bios on AHCI mode, took around 2 hours to install, a first start after
install took around 8 mins, when trying to instal chipset drivers (Intel
chipset) took around 3 hours to complete, reformatted changing sata mode
to IDE, same situation, reformatted and "just to check" installed XP 32
to my surprise took only 10 minutes to complete install, and no more
than 2 minutes chipset, network and sound drivers, recognized all 8
cpu's and 6 gb on RAM, worked just the way it has to; reinstalled vista,
same old prob, restarted on safe mode and realized that crcdisk.sys took
around 6-7 minutes kinda hung up, HDD led off, lighting up once a while,
then completing start-up, went to look for some info on that file and
learned about 4+ gigs issue, removed 4 gigs of ram, restarted and vuala,
took less than a minute for vista to start, and worked the way is meant
to, activated vista, updated to SP2, turned system off, renistalled
whole memory, restarted and same old prob, almost 10 mins to start,
restarted to safe mode, crcdisk.sys again, kinda stuck.

Do you know any solution, Microsoft didn't give any solution unless I
pay $$$ for support. (I already paid for original software and got no
support)

Thanks in advance.

As soon as the OP tells them the real problem is that Vista won't
install, it won't work you moron.

well, after 2 hours on the phone waiting for someone at Microsoft to
answer, and 20 minutes trying to explain the situation again, the
solution they gave me is: TAKE THE MEDIA TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU BOUGHT
IT AND GET IT REPLACED, give them the case number as a reference, if
they don't wanna replace it give us a call again.

I'll keep posting, may be my experience may work as an example to
others
