Vista Install trouble

Kazz · 31 Jul 2008 at 15:40

Hey

Today ive done a clean install of XP and im trying to get Vista 64-bit premium up and running along side it. Heres my previous thread from yesterday if it helps http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17902592

When i insert the disk i get this error message

Guessing ive went wrong somewhere?
Tryed booting from the dvd on a restart but the vista setup screen just hangs, any ideas? :confused:

Boot from dvd will be the only way.

you can't run the 64bit installer from a 32bit environment

Suggests you have more fundamental problems somewhere really. As above, if you can't get the DVD to boot, you're stuffed. You need to work out why it won't before you do anything else.

....maybe that was the prob

im a little slow today, well, most days

Sorted now, dvd booted properly after leaving it for about 10mins, all installed (on xp atm). Will no doubt be back with more "eek help!" threads, thanks again

The hanging on the installation happened to me too! Just had to leave it for ages

Same. My new build ( as in my sig ) seemed to hang on install but after leaving it 10mins it carried on.
