You can not upgrade directly from Vista32 bit to Vista 64 bit. You must
boot from the 64bit installation DVD and either do a replacement install on
top of Vista 32 bit or a completely clean install by reformatting the
partiton you want to install into.

Hey everybody,

Had to reinstal Vista x64 Premium on my computer, and I am having a
reoccuring error during installation.

-"The computer restarted unexpectedly or has encountered an unexpected
error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click
OK to restart your
computer and then restart installation."

-The computer acctually restarts during the -completing installation-
step of installing the 32 bit Vista Premium, there is a second CD that I
put in later on to upgrade it to 64 bit. When I got my computer a year
ago it came with Vista x64 bit preinstalled and I havn't tweaked any
settings like volatge, or anything like that.

Would this be caused by a corrupt CD? What else could I try to fix this
issue?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
