is the windows disk you have for vista scratched? if it is maybe you need to get a new one if it is'nt, go into your BIOS then make sure that your dvd drive is set as the primary boot device and try booting your vista disk again and if that does'nt work i'd probably just go into the xp install use that disk to format the drive to NTFS and then try the vista disk.

Yes the exact thing happened to me, forcing me to install a whole new OS ( Hello Windows 7 ) Your best bet to avoiding this in the future is to make you own recovery disc. Windows 7 allows this and I think if I remember correctly so does XP.

Yeah, this also can be caused by settings in your BIOS. Make sure your computers BIOS allows you to boot with your CD drive as number 1 (first).

Unfortunately, I can't get my Windows 7 disk to boot either. It just continuiously reboots my system. It doesn't even get passed my BIOS startup.

Have you tried messing with your boot settings in your BIOS, If not they try that first.
On your OS which ever one you are on go to Run then Type 'Msconfig' Go to boot and check what and how many are there. Please respond with the answer.
