Alright, I'm going crazy right now! I just formatted each partition and have no backup disk so I'm on my moms laptop. I tried to install vista, it got to 9% and gave me some 80070017 error!!!! Anyone know how to pass this so I can get Vista on my PC?!:eek: please please PLEASE help!!!:(
 
microsft is evil, just use linux, also what version of vista do you have, i heard the old release was crap, try gettin the newest release i've heard it's better
 
I did get the new one, but I did some research... I guess that the cd drive speed really means a lot... and mine is too fast? Now I have to get a stupid external one!
 
thats exactly what I thought, and you are right. It is the write speed I guess... I don't know what speed to write at though and now I think I might just take it to my local store that knows like everything about computers... they have been testing vista so I'm sure they can do it... they even have the vista disk which I ordered as well, but nothing came yet.
 
Why did you format all your partitions if you didn't have a backup option? Sounds like you got what you deserved...?
 
well I know I should have thought of that first, but I didn't think it'd go over like this... right now I'm going to be using my ipod as a harddrive to boot this off of because it said to on google lol... if that doesn't work... I'm waiting until tomorrow so I can get my friend to help me burn a copy on his pc... this laptop I'm on now only has a dvd read and cd-rw... if that doesn't work I'm going to go to new york city this weekend to see my dad and he knows where I can get a copy there for like 30 bucks, which he said he'd get... if that doesn't happen, then I'm going to have to wait for vista to come in the mail... uhh I hope it does work though
 
alright, well thank you!! I actually came across that same page, but didn't read it good enough I guess. This is gonna sound crazy, but I'm installing xp to my ipod as a hard drive so I can reburn this a better way... its 1am lol, I don't know why I'm doing all this so late since it will take part of tomorrow anyway, but I'm doing that, I will definitely burn it slower at like 2x or something to be sure. Thanks so much! I'll let ya know how it turns out
