Tried this DVD on another machine is fine, and tried another 2 on mine.

Ive tried 1x liteon dvdrw, 1x samsung cdrw/dvdr drives. Changed IDE cable still same.

The hdd i have is a western digital 250GB Sata2 drive.

My hardware is...
DFI Sli-DR Expert
Opteron 165
2GB Gskill ZX


Any help guys? :confused:
 
Bios running on defaults.

As i said, image is fine burnt it 3 times all disks work on another machine.
 
As i stated, have used 2 DVD drives. 1 a DVDRom other is a DVDRW.

I have tried 3 copies of the DVD, i will try at a lower speed but seems very strange.

I have installed XP Pro and XP MCE 05 to the HDD before i booted off the Vista DVD.

The drive is like a week old, and came from OCUK.... :(

first set your bios to boot from cd and after restart boot to vista cd and install there. it shouldn't give you the error again
WHAT?!?!?!?

Look at the first image pal, as you can see the "Windows Boot Manager" Boot off with Vista DVD your self and you will see that.

My bios does boot CD first im not that stupid.

and everytime i boot up i press ESC > to then manually choose what device to boot from :p

My system also does this with the one DVD drive. I find that burning to a different media at a slower speed cures it for me.
I will try this later....

Il rip my hdd out the caddy and hook up the dvdrw to it and burn another copy off the laptop.

No i wont be dual booting, single booting to start with... if i have problems get my MCE back on there. :D
 
NOW!!!!!!

I get this problem.

Gets to this screen
