Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H and Windows 7 – the saga continues

OK, so no joy from a few ‘help’ postings I made in forums, and certainly no reply from Gigabyte themselves from my support ticket logged.

However,  I did come across this post that I made myself, when I had similar problems installing XP when I first bought the board. I swapped optical drives, and it suddenly started working.

So – maybe it’s the same again? Maybe I should unplug the drive as well (I’ve already unplugged all external peripherals). I’ll give that a go, as well as trying a 32-bit x86 installer.
