Need Detailed Setup Instructions..

Posted: 11-04-2006, 11:16 PM
The instructions Microsoft provides isn't enough for me to understand, so I
need to know.. How do I setup Vista 64-bit? I'm able to get to the
installation screen for the 32-bit version, but not the 64-bit version.. Not
exactly sure what I need to do..

Sounds like you are trying to start from within XP (x86). If you are trying
to install Vista 64 you will need to start from the DVD or from XP (X64
edition)

Well I used Nero to burn the image to a DVD+RW, rebooted, told BIOS to look
at the CD Drive prior loading up XP, didn't even check it.. It went right
past the CD Drive check and took me into Windows XP....

Either you missed the prompt to hit any key or your DVD isn't bootable.
Could be a bad burn, or you may not have burned it as an ISO file.

I can boot my Windows XP CD off the disk drive.. When I burn this ISO File to
my DVD+RW CD, I hit the button when it prompts me to do so, then it just
restarts my computer. Do I need to delete the current partition on the hard
drive before this will work?

By the way, in addition to my question about, do I need to verify the data
and finalize the CD when I burn with Nero?
