I found a BIOS update for my mobo and applied i t, then reset the CMOS
on the PC. Now the problem is even worse - it hangs for several
minutes on a blank screen after the DMI update and then loads Vista.

Just installed my first Vista system (Ultimate, using it for my HTPC) and
have a weird problem. The install process never copied over the boot files
- the system will not boot unless the install DVD is in the drive.
Otherwise it just hangs at the DMI screen after the BIOS post. I nuked it
