Solution
Did you change the boot order in the BIOS before putting in the Windows disc? If not, try setting the DVD as the first boot device.
The following is a couple of suggestions from Microsoft:

"Method 1:

Unplug all the external devices and try booting and check.

Method 2:

Check if you are able to boot in safe mode or not:

If yes, I suggest you to put the computer in clean boot state and check.

To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
