Er, I'm getting to the desktop in about 20-25 secs. Didnt do a great deal of disabling in vlite, just defender and a couple of bits. I have used the cmd defrag which is much better (c: -v -w) Woof! Spot

I burnt the iso using nero already, bu I'll try another burn and see what happens, Cheers, Spot

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I'm an IT tech and do clean installs from cd/dvd all the time, that isnt the problem. The issue is that my bootable vlite gives me the error (on my original post) but installs fine from the os on my other partition. My question is, is this because I have an upgrade version of vista or something else? Is there a workaround? Thanks spot

I sucsessfully installed my stripped vista from the other partition. So how do I do a clean install if there is no os to run from? Is it possible? Thanks

I think I Have tried it fro the other partition and I got an error I'll check tomorrow. Incidently what i really want to be able to do is a clean install from a wiped disk, Is this possible? Thanks

"I was wondering can you access the files after the install has failed (maybe second partition with workable OS) so that you pull me out few log files, I'll tell you which if you answer positively? " Hi, I couldnt get the pm to work, sorry. Yes, I can try that except for the fact that after a failed vista install, my XP os (on a seperate partition) is unavailable. (maybe ntldr is on the vista side?) If you can work a way round this I'll give it a go. Thanks, Spot

Hi, thanks for looking. I burnt 2 iso's, one with everything as is and a custom one. It gives errors with both. Spot

Hi all, So I made a bootable dvd with vista lite, but when i try to run the install I get "Setup has encountered an error and must restart" It just loops around this message. The Vista I'm using is the business upgrade on 4 cd's. Any ideas? Thanks Spot
