problem installing vista

[Runningmovies]

I bought windows vista home premium disk a while ago and never put it on til
now. I am have problems with it i start the install in windows, and it
install restart once does some more installing restart again said starting
vista for the first time then restart again and on this restart the computer
will not see the hard drive and its will hang up. I am forced to restart the
computer and undoes the install going back to xp. I am only having this
problem on the last restart, and i had no problems installing xp and xp has
been running no problem for months, i did reinstall xp to put vista on here
so its a new install which again had no problem and still have no problems.
Any idea that could help? I have updated the bios that was my first thought.

You have not stated your problem in a concise, logical and cogent format.

Maybe you need to stick with XP.

If nothing else, post your machine's hardware specifications.

You might try hitting F8 during the last boot and see if you get the menu.
Try low resolution or safe mode and see what your results are.
