Hi guys,

I am trying to install Vista Beta 2 on a 32bit machine. I have tried SATA and IDE drives but still the same thing happens. When you boot from dvd, it comes up that it is transfering files, then after that it goes to a screen with the microsoft loader bar and then onto a blank black screen with mouse. About 10 seconds later the machine restarts and the proccess starts over. :unsure:

Any Ideas?

Cheers,
Rosco

Is this a clean install? Have you prepared the partition? Is it large enough? Also, some specs of your pc would be good to know.
