If you understood all of that Art, you are really good. Windows Vista's
setup has been simplified, the setup routine is very easy, if you have burnt
the ISO image to a blank DVD, you can simply start the installation from
within Windows XP or by booting from the DVD (make sure your boot drive is
set to your DVD drive winthin the BIOS), type in your product key, accept
the license agreement, choose Custom Upgrade > select the dedicated
partition you created for Vista (F
, and click next and setup will finish
the rest. Your computer will restart a couple times.
Also, make sure the minimum hard disk space you have free is at least 15
GBs, 500 MBs on the C: drive if you launch setup from within XP. I noticed
that the upgrade advisor did not take into account other partitions that
might be on the computer, only the route drive, so thats something to think
about, if it failed your computer. Its best you do a manual check to make
you can run Vista.
