So after looking at the computer I want to get...they all come preinstalled with Vista. Can't have that, can we?

 

I plan on paying the extra money so it has Window's XP on it ^_^

You can also buy one from NewEgg without the OS (and it's cheaper). Then you can use your old Windows HDD with it. It might be against the license if that's the OEM version, but so long as you transfer some of the old hardware in the new computer it should be OK.

Heh, i've tried to install the new Vista on my pc (buissnes edition). And it failed. Few times :)

 

After 2nd or 3rd reboot installer shows a message "System was closed or restarted unexpectedly. Installation can't continue until you restart your computer. Press OK to restart".

 

And i can reboot for countless times, the message won't dissapear.

 

Pr0!

A friend of me has the same problem Bloodsucker :) With some smileys on the bootscreen, right? :P

 

Yup, once I saw strange smiles, but other weird symbols too. Did he manage to get rid of this problem? :P

 

Edit:

 

Oki doki, I found a solution -- disabling the AC'97 or any other onboard sound adapter should help installing the windows.
