I burn Vista on DVD. I insert to drive. When menu appear i select to install. But after this i only show a background, window is but when i click 'NEXT' or something like that i have error. Could not load.... I tried 100 times but Vista instalator didnt work. Sometimes i see even windows for cdkey! But next and... crash :D . I tried many builds. When i boot from DVD in DOS i have that same problem. One time I install Vista but i dont know how - i probably didnt had this error. Help me.

My PC
Athlon XP 1800+
256 DDR RAM
GF4MX


P.S Sorry for my english.

It could also be a bad .ISO. I have seen a lot of reports of bad downloads from the MS website - I'd say anywhere from 5-10% of the downloads have been bad, which is unusually high.

this was my problem also. i kept getting "error 80070241". just a corrupt download. and yes, as simon said,
you will be, if you succeed with your install, running off of your swap. and atm vista is a bit of (and might end
up being) a memory hog.

If you have a good ISO, you can drastically speed up installation by extracting the ISo to a folder and installing Vista off the HD - I completed the install last night in 20 minutes.

that's what i did. i wanted vista on my raid array, and in the past, installing from within windows was the only way to accomplish this. and yes, quite a difference from booting to the .iso (though it seems that a recient
beta release has trimmed 1 gig off the x64 version, do to ommitance of some debugging code, which should
give a lighter running OS, and hopefully a bit faster install...)
