Hey,

I downloaded an iso image and I went to go download daemon's tools to read it on my dell inspiron 1720 and when prompted to restart, I did. When vista came around to boot up it blue screened. I tryed to do system restore but then it still kept on bluescreening. Then I figured windows was corrupt by then so I reformatted my harddrive and went to go reinstall vista and it can't finish the installation. It will reach 100% on expanding files and then it will pop up with an error message and make me restart. I tried reinstalling the vista disc that came with my laptop, vista disc that i own, a vista x64, and they all do the same thing. Then I made a XP SP3 disc and that can't find any harddrives. I am really out of ideas and need some advice. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
