Thank you, Charles Lucas

Hi, I tried to install vista, but once the installation reaches the point where it needs to restart the system, I get a blue error screen when the computer restarts. It tells be the verification of a known DDL failed and gives me the number c000021A. I ran the install so I can choose which operating system i want to run at start up. This is the reason I still have XP. Any ideas?

Your 10GB partition is too small. I think the absolute minimum is 15GB, but you should probably go for about 25-30GB.

My motherboard is an ABIT AV8 socket 939 k8 and the chipset is VIA K8T800 Pro/ VT8237. I hope all that info makes sense. Any ideas? It seems like something is not going with the windows install because of that fatal error I keep getting.
