Hi
Ive just built a new computer, and for some odd reason vista wont complete the install. Early on in the installation it comes up with 'windows could not reinitialise deployment engine'. Im not using a pirated copy, and have tried to install several times.
Any ideas?

Try deleting the drive, creating a new partition, and then reformatting from the utility on the DVD.

Did exactly that and still nothing. Just gets stuck on 0%. Any other ideas?

Try a different optical drive

I think you mean gigs^, but ya, if you're using more than 2 gigs, it's a common issue. Just install with 1.
