Hi there

So a couple of days ago, my computer froze while watching a film. I tried rebooting it, and it told me one of the system files were corrupt and I'd have to insert my Windows XP CD to repair. I lost this months ago, so thought "ah to hell with it" and went out and bought a copy of Vista.

I've now formatted the hard drive, booted from the DVD, and allowed it to install. It restarts to 'complete the installation', but when it tries booting from the hard drive, it says it's encountered an error and I'll have to restart to continue installation... and this is where it loops.

The weird thing is, it will boot into safe mood, but it won't let me get anywhere as it can't complete installation in safe mode, so it... makes me restart. again.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
