Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / December 2007still unable to boot from vista dvd
I have a problem and can’t find any solution. When I try to start windows ( Ultimate) from the original installation DVD (from which is was installed) then I get the " press any key to boot from CD / DVD" command. When I do it, the white bar at the bottom of the screen saying "Windows is loading files". Next is the black screen with the "Microsoft Corporation" and a running green bar at the bottom of the screen. And that’s it. The screen gets black after that and nothing happens. No HDD activity of any kind. I have a Norton Save and Restore CD for my computer which used to work just fine, but also with this CD I am running into the 100% exact same problem. Any bootable CD I have which doesn’t boot directly into Windows Vista is working perfectly. I also can boot from e.g. my old Windows XP CD. And, the Windows (Vista) installation DVD starts without problems at all in my other computer... My Windows installation itself is booting without problems from HDD. My computer: GA-K8NSC-939 mobo with nForce3 250 GB chipset 4 GB ram NVIDIA Geforce 7600 GS Graphic board with 512 Mb AMD Athlon 64X2 3800+ 250 GB HDD 0 Hitachi 160 GB HDD 1 Hitachi I would appreciate any help, Matt > I have a problem and can't find any solution.

Then there are not too many possibilities left... the Vista DVD must be dirty or scratched...or just plain defective... If it does not have any dust on it and it looks OK... I'd try another machine... If it still does not boot...then I'd get a replacement DVD Do you have any USB thumb drives or hard drives connected? I found that my installation would freeze if I had a thumb drive attached. >>> Try replacing your DVD drive >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > I'd try another machine... > If it still does not boot...then I'd get a replacement DVD |
