Constant re-boot when upgrading from xp home

I am trying to upgrade my version of XP home to the 32bit version of Vista
Home Premium. After I have been through the process of filling in the product
key and Vista has completed the install, the computer reboots again as it has
several times, however this time it simply continues to reboot. I am given
options to load vista normally, load in safe mode or go back to running from
XP. selecting vista normally simply continues to reboot the system, safe mode
loads but i am the shown a message that vista cannot complete the install
while in safe mode and i need to re boot!

Help Please!!
