Vista - Vista Keeps rebooting

I am trying to install vista beta 2 using the DVD i created. I have checked
the pre-requisites and it says i am geared for the ultilate edition.

I have a:
ASUS P5LD2
x700 ATI PCI Express
300GB SATA Maxtor

Before i have any options to do anything, vista setup keeps rebooting. Any
suggestions? Thanks in advance

Did you burn the DVD at a low speed, 2x recommended? How did you launch
setup, from within an existing installation Windows or boot from the DVD?

also do a CRC check on
the ISO to find out its integrity. Nero MD5 Verifier is a recommended
choice. If setup still fails, its likely a bad download.

I use the one from Ahead Nero
http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

Here are the MD5/CRC values for x86 or x64 depending on which every ISO you
downloaded:

x86
- File Size = 3.12 GB (3,355,598,848 bytes)
- CRC Value = 0x67E089E0
- MD5 Value = 0E733AB1A8E8FF9A8684FD3639332773
x64
- File Size = 4.01 GB (4,309,368,832 bytes)
- CRC Value = 0x48697711
- MD5 Value = E43502D0A15EADD551119D5639859E04

Paste the MD5 Checksum for either x64 or x86 depending on which one you want
check in Step 1, Step 2 - Browse to where you stored the ISO on your drive
and open it and it will automatically start the varification process and
generate the has in the third field, if it matches Step 1, then you are
safe.

I ran a crc check on the downloaded ISO file and it passed. Also burent
another DVD this time at 2x but still cannot get vista setup to load. I have
tried to run setup from DVD and also within my windows xp install. Neither
worked. My windows xp install is currently on a single basic patition. Not
sure if this has any importance.

Have you thought about creating a logical partition out of that 300 GB hard
disk instead of installing Vista on all it.
