ok i am having a problem if anyone can help

Sep 29, 2007 6:12PM PDT

I got the vista home premium upgrade for a new computer i put together and on a clean hard drive i installed xp home sp2, then run the vista install which goes all the way threw and reboots but when i reboots it reboot and ask me to install it again, and even if i install it again it will ask me to install it again, if i cancel it revent back to xp home. Does anyone here have any idea whats up with it i have tryed installing it more then 2 dozen times in every way i can think of i even try installing it by boot to the vista and installing it that way but its still does that same thing. XP install right and seem to work fine.
