officially completely stumped... i used the win integrator, added all the .inf's out of the intel folders from both the chipset and the mass storage driverpackages, i selected both the iaStor and the iaAHCI ones from the mass storage folders as boot critical, hit the apply button, created iso, burn, boot... still having the same problem. idiot check... did i do something wrong, or skip a step?
on a side note, i've already been contemplating getting a new motherboard anyway, and between having these issues, not to mention being between installs being a good time to do that anyway, would that likely get rid of this problem anyway?
@muiz:
as of right now, i am running windows 7 ultimate x86, and am trying to install windows 7 ultimate x64. i have the intel motherboard DG33SXG2. in my bios, the option "configure sata as:" is currently set to IDE, and i have tried to get the boot installer running with it set both as IDE and as AHCI. i thought maybe running as AHCI might resolve the problem, but so far hasn't, and my current install won't boot with it set as AHCI so i can't get you a HWID log that way (would that even change things?). also, here's a full HWID log, ran it about 45 seconds ago.
