Downloaded the 64bit ISO, burned it to DVD at 4X, have a completely capable
system (P4 3.6, 2 gig ram, etc, etc) But no matter how I try, I can't even
get to the 1st step.... Suggestions?

I also created a seperate partition (60 gigs in size)

Bad .ISO maybe? or am I overlooking something simple? I re-burned the DVD
twice at different speeds...still getting the "not a valid win32 application"
error :(
 
I get this message too, but i guess this is normal, becuase you try to run 64
bit app in 32bit win xp environment. the qustion is how to make multiboot
system if i have win32 xp installed? i read that if i want correct and
working multiboot, i have to install vista in xp not booting from dvd, and
trying to boot from dvd, vista setup doesn't see my sata raid drive on epox
m/b... can anyone help?

what's the difference between 32 an 64 bit vistas? maybe i can simply
install 32 bit and enjoy as i did with xp? anyway 64 bit xp didn't improve
anything over 32 bit version.... just PITA due to driver mess...
 
Ok, I tried booting from the DVD, but it doesn't work...it says "no boot
device found, press F1 to try again"...

With that said, do I need to format the drive first...if so, how? since the
boot sequence doesn't recognize the DVD as bootable media?
