Hi spike try a clean install.

Then please post the service tag of your machine and I will locate the drivers for you.

Erm... I can't even boot... I'm stuck in BIOS unless I boot from disk. Otherwise I could get the drivers just fine.

Be sure to install the drivers in the correct order or you will have problems http://support.dell....4&isLegacy=true

I'm not installing drivers individually. I'm running the install disk.

Yes I understand that.If you do a clean install booting from your vista cd you should be good to go.

You really need to install the chipset driver first Also you might wanna get the newest driver versions to avoid issues later on down the road.

That's what I'm doing. I run the disk all the way through. It finishes installing. It reboots. All [bleep] breaks loose . It goes into windows boot manager and says that it's missing a driver. It gives me the name of a .sys file and an error code (both of which change every time I reinstall and I'm reinstalling right now so I don't know the current one) I have what it says in another topic that no one read it's at the bottom of one called "restoring system"

Sounds to me like your vista cd is messed up are there any visible scratchs/smudges/fingerprints on it Give it a good cleaning.

That's what I thought but it looks brand new. Plus, it's a different file every time.

Perhaps the HDD is going. But the only thing that I can think of is to try and disable AHCI in your bios.
