I was wondering if anyone else who has downloaded vista business from eopen has had any problems with it. Currently I can not install vista onto my pc. I have previous installed vista rc2 onto my computer without any problems, thats why this is throwing me for a loop. When I start by booting off of the dvd, it starts to load the windows setup process but I always get the same error. File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe Status: 0xc0000001 Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt. It basically tells me that I need to run a repair on my windows installation, the only problem is that there is not a installation of windows on this computer, vista, XP, nothing... At first I thought that maybe it was just a problem with the download, so I tried both the 32bit and 64 bit downloads, both have the same problem. Then I thought maybe it was the business edition, so I downloaded the enterprise edition (from eopen) and I still have the same problem. Next I tested my hdd (DFT) and memory (Memtest86+) to make sure that they passed and they did... My test rig shouldn't have any problems with vista (I say this because it installed RC2 fine) Amd 3800+ 6800 XFX GT 2 gb corsair 320 Wd hdd 450 power supply Just to double check, I tried to install my RC2 vista again, and it still works... any ideas?

I have a sony vaio with 1gb of ram. Its after the decompression of the drivers. Its pretty new and i used it for my testing. It happens when i think its trying to start up the installation of windows. Its an intel centrio mobile processor, i don't remember the chipset but i know its not a via. Also it just sits there at the start setup.exe and is doing stuff with my hard drive because it blinks and i can hear my hard drive moving. I just can't figure out what i did wrong.

I am trying to create a multi-boot XP cd. I have everything setup and it works just fine without the driver packs. I have everything setup correctly as far as i can tell and i use the setup that shows what presetup.cmd is doing and it completes everything and gets all the way to the end and just sits on the last command. start /WAIT setup.exe %* Then after about an hour i get a low virtual memory error. Any suggestions? Here is my presetup.cmd REM +=======================================================+ REM | Comment out what you don't need.
