OK, this is going to be a big post...
I was trying out the windows Vista Beta 2 x86 edition from the DVD kit I bought from Microsoft. It was ok, and I got to test it a little.
Then the problems began to happen... I put in my XP home Cd to try to go back to XP. it took a long time before Vista would let me open the CD folder and the setup and autorun wouldn't work. So, I rebooted, went into the BIOS and set it to boot from the CD drive. I started the setup when I got an error that said:
Then I installed Ubuntu linux from the install cd I had. After that was stable I tried booting from the XP cd and I got this error:
Next, (since Ubuntu doesn't recognize my PCI wireless adapter) I installed SimplyMEPIS 3.3 linux. Again, I tried booting to the XP disc. And I got this error (all the way after it copied the files and was seting up the rest off the stuff... where you first get a mouse cursor):
I had to try again and I got this error next:
I tried installing XP again this afternoon and It got hung up on a file that it "couldn't read off the CD". I had that message come up lots of times during the other attempts, but it took less than 25 retries to ge it to work. This last time I retried over 100 times before I gave up.
This very annoying... Any ideas?
Thanks!

So I rebooted back to Vista to check out the error online, then went and tried rebooting to the XP disc again. It didn't work, and booted to Vista, I tried again and it happened again.
