Re: Vista x64 problem download
Are your hard drives FAT32 or NTFS? FAT32 cannot support file sizes largerthan 4GB.

Re: Vista x64 problem download
How are you trying to install? What happens if you install by booting theDVD? (You cannot install the x64 edition from an XP x86 desktop anyway).
You cannot upgrade from XP x86 to Vista x64 (like you can with Vista x86).
If your answer to Jane's question is that your present file system is FAT32
then you probably would get such a message.
What you should be doing is installing to an empty partition or drive (and
definitely not to your XP system drive) and booting with the dvd.
