i have installed vista initially from an XP sp2 already on my system, however i formated the pc, and now i'm trying to boot from the same cd which i used initially it's a 32bit version of Vista, it's giving me an error in the 1st phase itself when copying files that it cannot continue as some files r missing or can't be updated. Can someone help in this situation or just guide me on how to install vista from a clean formated hard disk. also when i try to use a boot disk and try to access it wiht cdrom support, it's saying device not found with regards to the MSCDEX driver for loading a cdrom while booting, i'm using a windows Me bootable disk as both boot disks created by XP and vista don't provide that feature any longer. Any suggestion. thanx a lot
