When attempting to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 the upgrade attempt may fail with the message “This version of Windows could not be installed, Your previous version of Windows has been restored, and you can continue to use it." However, the next reboot of the machine will launch the upgrade process again only to fail with the same message.

I dont think am trying to upgrade from a vista 32 to a win7 64. Both vista and win7 are 64 bit in my case and the win7 upgradation DVD i received is from Dell as part of the offer on buying a new Dell studio 1555 laptop.
