___________________________________

Every time I install it....I will eventually freeze. I have Vista on a DVD+RW and cleanly burned. I install it and it will either freeze on the "Installing Do not reboot the computer" or in the middle of the "Customizing Settings Area" My system completly freezes....I can not use the three finger assult or anything, and the mouse is COMPLETLY frozen...

Any idea what the problem could be?

Back non Topic: I had a similar problem. I solved it by booting into XP (I have two partitions, one for XP, one for Vista). I solved it by copying over the drivers in XP:\Windows\System into Vista:\Windows\System. Then I restarted the installation.

I presume that the installation drivers that come on the vista dvd did not support my hardware.

Also in my XP drive I find these:

$WINDOWS.~BT

$WINDOWS.~LS

...........................

It still freezes, even with the XP drivers....Is there anything else?

...........................

EDIT

The $ folders are gone....

My computer now ALWAYS freezes on the Customizing settings. Any idea?

1, Copy folder $WINDOWS.~BT to your VISTA Partition and reboot.

*.If it not works then boot to XP and:

a, Open boot.ini (Right click on My Computer--->Properties----->advanced---->Startup and Recovery--->Settings----->Edit.

You will see something like this:

[boot loader]

timeout=15

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS-------->change the partition number to exactly where you want to install Vista.

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

C:\ = "Microsoft Windows"

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Long Horn setup" ........----->Change the partition number like above.

b, Save it and reboot.

I tried that a few times....I just let the installation go, and it made it....

My next issue as I said in my last post is in the "Personalizing Settings"

It will just freeze at any point. Then when I hit the MS Windows Media Player, I recieve an Advanced INF Install Error: Access Denied. Any idea?

Any help
