Here's the summary:
So, when I tried to install vista, I got this black screen where the first part was supposed to start. Any fixes?

Thanks!

Hi Andrei- I don't know where our experts (like SIW2 who was helping you in the 7 forum) are but what ISO are you using for the installation and what are you installing it from?

 

[wither 3]

Where did you go?

 

[Andrei31910]

I'm sorry for not replying, I was busy.

ISO:
https://mega.nz/#!vUkDVJZJ!l6OcZs97X6... or https://mega.nz/#!PIsTDLCS!N_tPjHaAMR...

I am also trying real CDs.

I am installing both from a CD and a USB.

 

[wither 3]

Yes, but what iso are you using?

 

[Andrei31910]

I sent you the link to the ISO, click one of the two links

My apologies. I kept going to YouTube until I figured out how to get to Mega from the link. One is 32x and the other is 64x. Which do you use and what flavor of Vista is it- e.g. Home Premium, Ultimate, etc?

 

[Andrei31910]

Since the other OS's are x86 (sorry for not reminding you that i do a dualboot with xp and 7 x86), I'm using x86. Also, this iso is multi-flavor.

 

[Andrei31910]

Hello?

 

[wither 3]

Are you getting the black screen regardless of the ISO you use? Did you try the .wim replacement in a Win 7 ISO as suggested by SIW2?

 

[Andrei31910]

Hey there! I will try that as me last resort plan. And yes, I tried several ISOs and it still gave me the black screen.

 

[Andrei31910]

Hello?

 

[wither 3]

Just waiting for you to try SIW2' suggestion.

 

[Andrei31910]

oooooooh ok, ill try it tomorrow (or even today!)

 

[Andrei31910]

There's a problem. Chatgpt says if I replace the wims, it will come out as windows 7 but I want to install vista.

 

[wither 3]

Go with S1W2. He's the most knowledgeable person I know in regards to these installations. He's helped me in numerous occasions.

 

[Andrei31910]

Oh. I will try in a virtual machine first.

 

[Andrei31910]

Ok, I realized something. Vista works all virtual machine attempts. Like I mentioned, my computer is a dualboot. Does that mean my computer can't handle 3 OS's and thus doesent want to start the vista installation process?

 

[wither 3]

If I remember correctly (I'll get beat up if I'm wrong), when installing multiple OS's on a computer, one starts by installing the oldest one first and then the next one, etc.
Are you saying that it still won't install normally?

 

[Andrei31910]

Yeah. I made the mistake of installing 7 first
