Hi, everyone,

I hope someone can help me. I have a HP t.3360 nl (Pavilion) PC:
Intel Pentium 4 processor 517
1 GB DDR2-SDRAM
200 GB (7200 RPM) including 6gb partition for system restore
1 DVD drive 16x
1 DVD writer 16x

Anyway when I boot with the vista dvd I see a black screen and at the bottom
the message: "copying files". Also a steadily filling horizontal bar. When
the bar is full the screen "blinks" twice and I get a black screen. I waited
for 3 hours but nothing happens.

When installing from within XP everything goes OK: installing files,
decrompressing files, etc. Then the PC reboots into a black screen which
remains for 3 hours with nothing happening. After those 3 hours I simply give
up that installation.

I tried burning the DVD at slower speeds, thinking it might be the dvd, but
to no avail. I also used a virtual dvd drive with the iso image but still the
same problem.

At one point I installed VMware and did the installation on a virtual
machine. It worked but only when I used the iso image in the dvd drive.

Hope that someone has a good suggestion.

Regards,

Marc
