Comments on: Installing Vista http://robwhitehouse.com/windows/windows-vista/installing-vista/ A bunch of random notes from working in IT Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:54:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Rob http://robwhitehouse.com/windows/windows-vista/installing-vista/comment-page-1/#comment-13 Rob Wed, 05 Sep 2007 21:14:45 +0000 http://robwhitehouse.com/uncategorized/installing-vista/#comment-13 Hi Thomas, I don't think it would make a difference to be honest - my install was done from an ISO downloaded from the MS site in the US, so I'm fairly certain they're all the same DVD. The one thing I will ask - are you sure you have a DVD drive? Vista only ships on DVD, not CD. Other than that, it sounds like a faulty DVD - you should be able to call up Microsoft and get a replacement shipped out to you at no charge, or you can download a trial ISO (if you're willing to download over 2Gb of data) and burn your own DVD, if you have a DVD writer. Hope this helps, Rob Hi Thomas,

The green lights flash on the PC for a few minutes then stops.I asked when I bought it if it would work in the UK and was told it will work on ANY PC. Can you please help Would the fact that I bought it in the states stop it working in the UK ?

I was just bored and thought I'd post some pretty pictures of Vista... Not particularly; if I was going to do that I’d stick a “Digg this” button somewhere.
