Vista install and GA-7NNXP Mobo

Hi.
Firstly I was wondering is anyone using the 7NNXP mobo as I am?
My problem is that I am currently running XP Professional SP2 updated fully, and have both upgraded and clean installed Vista 32-Bit version.
The upgrade advisor states minor problems with current software (easily updated) and problems surrounding the GBT drivers for (SCSI/SATA/RAID) . It states that these functions may not work after install.
On both install attempts, it carries through most of the install, until the 'Finalizing Install' stage where it resets after 53% and fails to restart windows. It then enters a loop of 'reset-failed to restart windows-reset' and continues until such times that I intervene and ask to do a setup rollback...
According to Gigabyte there is no problems with compatibility of this mobo with Vista, but I am struggling to find a solution.
My system:
GA7NNXP Motherboard
AMD 3000XP CPU
2048MB OCZ PC3500
Hercules Radeon 9700
80 Gig HD (c:\)
160 Gig HD (d:\)
Pioneer CD/DVD Burner/Reader (e:\)
Phillips DL DVD Burner/Reader (f:\)
Zalman Reserator 2 Water Chilled
Thermaltake Butterfly 680W PSU
MS XP Pro SP2
Please Help!
