Is Vista and XP on same computer but different partitions???
Have you checked all of your BIOS settings to make sure they match what you
had before the upgrade ??

Thank you for ur quick reply.

i used only vista 32 bit Home premium when i got this problem i tried
to re install my vista Home premium. it installed successfully.but with
in few seconds it automatically restarts and become black screen with
blinking cursor (i think no problem in bios) . so i installed XP and it
has no problem. now iam using xp only. my question is why vista is not
reading my HDD. why xp has no problem in that..... what i have to do ..
Everything in my bios setting is normal.

Please Advice.

It could be you downloaded the wrong bios update. You need to find out
what bios you have (Check your manual) and then you can go online and
see if the one you downloaded is a match for the original.

It is possible but not likely. If it is an authentic website for that
system there should be no problems but i recommend trying again and if
it doesn't work the second time around chances are you downloaded the
wrong bios.

here is another issue,

now i have no problem when i install Vista home premium 30 days trial.
but when i try to activate this it turns to be a black screen with
blinking cursor. any idea!!!!!!!?

First of all, Berrybarath, why the hell would you get a 30-day Vista
trail (Or a Vista *anything* for that matter!)??? Take my word for it, I
have Vista and I have had nothing but headaches. I had to just do a
complete reinstall after replacing my hard drive (I have crappy HP, the
second worst computer ever made next to Packard Bell, remember them??)
in January after having the computer *just 15 months! *I recommend
scrapping that crappy Vista and getting XP, a much more reliable, albeit
slightly slower version of windows. Of course, this is my own opinion,
but based on my previous experiences with Vista. As far as why it goes
to a black screen, it sounds like the trail version didnot install
properly. Try reinstalling it (or better yet, try a trail version of XP
if possible and compare the two to see which one works better for you. I
can almost guarantee that XP is the way to go...

Thanks Vinnya

Let me explain clearly.
i had an problem with playing games. that
means my computer freezes while gaming. i tried to upgrade and degrade
my graphic card driver but i didnt solved my problem. my friend suggest
me to update BIOS. this is the exact reason for updating bios. now my
problem solved with playing games and started with vista. i like vista
because of the HD sound capability,DX10, themes, fast browsing etc.... i
am ready to sacrifice vista ( with worries ) but i just want to know
the reason why its happening. why i got no problem with the trial
version and i have the problem with the activated version. (sorry if my
doubts seems to be silly.)
