x86 CD not working

[Guest]

All I am getting on the x86 CD is a readme file that tells me my operating
system can not read the CD. The operating system is Windows XP home.... I
can see the files on the x64 CD. I dont need the x64 version though. anyone
know what is the problem?

The downloaded image is a UDF DVD, and is not a CD. To burn it to disk, you have
to open it with a burning program (ie. Nero or similar) and you want to burn it
as an image or disk image. If you extract the files from the disk, you won't
have a bootable disk if you burn it as data. There also are not many programs
that can properly open the image for extraction anyway.

Sorry, I am still not used to calling a DVD a DVD yet. The x86 DVD is what I
got from Microsoft. I did not download the install files from teh internet.
The disk that microsoft makes for Vista is evidently not compatible with all
DVD drives. It would not work on the laptop I was using. I used the a DVD
drive from my house and the disk worked fine. Also I found another
suggestion to download a "daemon" program to rebuild the disk and that fixed
the issue with the laptop drive.

You cannot start a 64bit setup from a 32bit operating system. If you search
more about this you will find more info about it.
