Does it freeze at one of the sections during the install? Because that same thing happened to myself actually, and I had to use my laptop to get it to work. If that is your problem I will post a reply of how I did it.

Ok, so I did in fact get it to it to work. I had to copy the disc files onto my flashdrive, then run the install from there. So its all good now, thanks for the help.

I am no pro or anything, but have you switched you boot sequence back to what it needs to be? HDD first, then the Optical Drive? That sounds like your problem, or it might be (don't hold me to this) that XP doesn't recognize Win7 as an operating system. It might just think it is a bunch of files.

Dude that is apparently happening to me also. I got mine from the newegg pre-order bonus and it so far appears dead.

Well that didn't work so I have gone and went to the control panel and hardware, and updated every driver it would let me update. In the mean time I was formatting my flashdrive, so I will try again after it finishes.

I have done some google searches and I may have found my issue. Vista's defaults for the Optical Drive Autoplay feature for all types, have to be manually set. I have set them all the ask me first, and I will see if this works.

I do not have the main and the laptop networked, however I can't also try the second choice because I do not have a writable DVD in my house. Now instead of a DVD could I use a flashdrive? (8GB Kingston)

Here is something that might help. When i put the disk in there and it finishes reading the "empty" disc, i am able to double click my disk drive (D:/) and it glitches the my computer program into not responding and causes it to stop everytime. If that helps.

So it is being noticed in my laptop, but that is not where i want to install it. Could it have to do with anything like I don't have autoplay?

I have yet to try another computer. So i will do that and post back what happens.

Well I am having an issue. The instruction manual says to put the disc in the optical drive and I did so. It then read the disc, and showed up empty. Vista wouldn't read the disc at all. So I then went and restarted my computer, into my BIOS, switched the boot sequence order to optical drive...
