It would be nice If the upgrade advisor would work under the MS XP Pro x64 OS. I tried the advisor under XP Pro x32 on My other PC and It worked very good after I installed another program that the advisor asked for.

Vista RC1 won’t upgrade Beta2 even though Upgrade Advisor gives system green checkmark. Beta2 has been running perfectly for over three months. During RC1 install over B2, I get this error msg: IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers: Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controllers need updated drivers.

If they’re good enough for Beta2 and Upgrade Advisor, then the drivers should be fine for RC1.

Any advice? Thanks. I appear stuck until January unless someone has advice. Microsoft said they are not supporting RC1 technical issues.

Hey Jeb: it's more likely that you need to do a clean re-installation of the OS instead of an upgrade in this case; I'm not sure what the exact cause of the issue may be, but I do know that a clean install will get around any driver issues that you might be experiencing.

I'd suggest using Windows Easy Transfer to effect your clean installation in order to save settings and documents. There's a set of instructions for upgrading at:
