Where did you get the disk from. Did you read the file? It may tell you how
to proceed.

OEM disks are not for upgrade. They are meant for installing on a computer
without an operating system. You boot from the DVD to install. You will have
to delete the partition where your current system is installed, create a new
partition and then format the partition. If you are installing to a SATA
drive you may well need your SATA drivers available to continue with the
install. Without these drivers, the installer may not see your hard drives.

Strange..... for I bought a copy of Vista Ultimate OEM and did an "in place"
install over my existing XP SP-2 Home after uninstalling any application
that wrote to disc or monitored the disc, e.g., KAV, PerfectDisk and True
Image Home 10. The installation went off without a hitch and this was on my
WD 250 gig SATAII drive. I also did all the expected preparatory things,
e.g., cleaning all temp files and defragging the drive. So, at least in my
experience, an upgrade can be done with a Vista Ultimate OEM disc.
