The imgae will explain it.

E: New problem, boot from CD won't do a shit(yeah wtf), just boots normally, and when I try to choose install XP, nothing will happen.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I still don't see what people have against Vista. As long as your computer can handle it, it's really not as bad as people make it sound.

Bashing Vista makes you cool

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

I'm using vista, besides the fact it gave me the weirdest, dumbest and the most random issues ever, its quite good.

[captnobvious] W7 is Microsoft's tentative at redoing Vista because it failed pretty hard. Hence why it came out so early. Lets hope they succeed this time........ [/captnobvious]

BTW I'm too lazy to go to XP.

U have NO IDEA of multi-gpu scaling with vista. or load times with 6gb

Windows 7 is pretty much vista, just it actually works this time and isn't a complete pile of wank

Me and Max are the ones having most stuff around with Vista yet we have no issues with it.

vista only appears to work well with standard hardware

older hardware or more obscure hardware has problems with Vista but not with W7

if i wanted an O/S that only supported specific hardware, i'd buy a fucking mac

like the whole original point of windows was that it would run on most computers, as opposed to mac where you need specific hardware (yes i am aware of hackintoshes but they're not the easiest thing in the world to do, nor is the o/s designed to do this)

I had Vista with AMD 3500+, 2GB ram and X800XT PE without issues. And I would say I have tried a good deal of hardware comnbinations too hehe...

Vista will work fine unless you're running 6+ years old hardware, on which you shouldn't be running Vista in the first place.

On topic, did you set your boot device to CD-ROM?

Go to BIOS, change boot device priority to 1st = DVD-DRIVE
