Is this Win 7 DVD an upgrade disc from the maker or is it a Retail Full Version 64 bit Genuine Win 7 DVD?
Is your system 64bit capable?
When you insert the DVD and boot up, are you attempting to Install or Upgrade?
Are you Installing onto a new partition, or deleting the existing Vista partition and installing over that?

My current system is running Vista Ultimate 32-Bit. Win7 Upgrade Advisor reports that 64-Bit Win7 Home Premium can be installed using "clean install" and booting from Win7 64-Bit DVD. However, after changing BIOS setting to boot from DVD, the process fails with "NTLDR not found. Restart to continue." How do I get around this?
Thanks for your support.
