Hi,
I searched the forum and couldn't find anything on this. I'm having a problem installing windows vista ultimate 64 bit SP1. I currently have win XP home installed and it works fine. I left win XP home installed, then booted from the win Vista ultimate DVD. The Vista DVD takes me to an initial screen and asks me to install it. I choose the install option and then it looks like it's going to install and a graphic of a blue screen shows up with nothing else showing. At that point, my computer just hangs there and the DVD stops running and it just basically gets stuck. The blue screen graphic is NOT the BSOD. It looks like Vista starts to install but gets stuck.
Does anyone have any advice for me on how to install vista ultimate 64 bit? I appreciate any help.
Thank you.
