I am trying to install a new OEM vista 64 home ed. on a new computer.
figured why not dual boot with Xp since some programs have know
compatibility issues with Vista 64. I installed Xp... no problem.
inserted the vista dvd: "This is not a valid win32 file type." Ok, I'l
try direct boot from DVD (like I should have): "Not a valid syste
disk." Ok, I'll boot from win9x boot disk enable dvd and install fro
there: readme.txt states "This OS does not support UDF file type. Vist
needs UDF support." Ok, I'll use an XP starup disk: "No drives found."
No longer ok

I'm out of ideas and the internet seems to be lean on this problem. An
ideas? Do I have to burn an ISO, if so how without access permission

Yes you have to burn an ISO. Not sure why you don't have access permission,
but take ownership if the product you use to burn the ISO requires it. Burn
at a slow speed for better reliability and use quality media.

no nerd here, but I can tell you that you will alwys have to install the
latest opring sys first and set it up for dual boot, then install the second
operating system.

This rule also holds true when you are establishing your own network. The
Master(administrator computer must be the latest operating sys, and the
others can be something less. ie Vista master/others XP, ME, 98 or Xp
master/ME,98 as others

You are not a nerd, you are a f***ing TURD.

Stop giving out WRONG info!

Vista is the FIRST Microsoft OS that allows you to install Vista 1st in a
dual boot, followed by XP.

ALL previous Microsoft OSs have made you install the OLDER operating system
1st.

Don't come back here, cockhead!
