i NEED to use windows vista. windows 7 beta works just fine but i wanna go back to vista. now, the DVD won't work. its not recognized inside the OS and its not recognized as "working" in DVD boot.
error message (dvd boot): CD ERROR: cant fine BOOTMGR (or something along those lines)
the same applies to a perfectly fine windows 7 disc. the vista disc works in other computers. WTF?

umm, well im guessing ur tryin to get into the disk from boot up. try installing from windows. see if that works.
but any idea why previously working cds' don't work anymore?
Are you installing it from your desktop? or from boot up?
i've tried both. on desktop it just freezes explorer.exe.

The virus will make your PC melt.
And there's nothing you can do about it at all.
