Could you please provide the hardware specifications of the computer you are
trying to install Vista in? Could you also please provide punctuation?

Hi,

Still sounds like a bad burn. Make sure no AV programs are running and shut
down everything unnecessary while running the burn. When installing, make
sure BIOS antivirus detection schemes are disabled. It may also help to use
a fresh disk if you are using RW media. Have you run CRC checks on the
images and on the disks?

downloaded 1day ago

chance?

If you can't type any better than you have in this thread, I would think
not. Believe it or not, accuracy counts!
