What error are you getting?
What model computer?
Are you booting from the install disc?
Are you upgrading ? Were both legal copies?
Are you doing a clean install?

Are you certain your system meets all the requirements? I've heard Vista is very fussy about Video Cards and Processors when you're installing. Double check your system spec against what Microsoft say you should have and see if that indicates the issue.
If you've paid for Vista, then you'll have support from Microsoft that you could take advantage of. If it's a downloaded copy from torrent or similar, you may have a dodgy version. Either re-download or buy an official copy.

From everything I'm hearing about Vista that may be a very good thing for you. I would uninstall Vista, do a system restore to a point before you started messing with Vista, defrag, and reboot. Then enjoy your new upgrades without all the fluff and heartache of Vista.

The CD can be pirated.
Contact Microsoft on their website.
Dont Do anything just call upon the Engineer or the Service Man

Check your computer's processing power. Vista requires a lot of RAM

How old is the computer? There might not be drivers that support Vista on your system. Anyways, Vista is a total p.o.s. and you should stay with XP

Insert vista dist and start up computer and install from there do not install from my computer, if that did not work , you have bad copy of vista.
