When I'm installing vista and its on the step "completing installation" it then brings me to a blue screen for a second and then restarts computer and says that the computer didnt shut down correctly and thats that. It keeps doing that. Anyway to fix this? Thanks.

clear the drive with dban then format and install
http://dban.sourceforge.net/

 

[Coolcat12]

it installs on a floppy?

 

[dai]

you put it on floppy and then boot from the floppy
i think there is also an iso that you can put on a cd available there

 

[Coolcat12]

Ok, good. I dont got no floppy discs.

OK i got a usb driver but have files in it. I want to install it there. It tells me do delete them to install this. If I do can I put them back in? or no. And when I am done with this can I delete dban? Thanks

 

[Coolcat12]

I need answer ASAP, sorry!

 

[dai]

if you have room just add dban

 

[Coolcat12]

Ok I think it installed, now what? Do I need to restart and boot from it? Thanks. If not could I get a step by step procedure to fix my problem on the first post thanks.

 

[dai]

yes boot from it and follow the onscreen instructions

 

[Coolcat12]

It didnt boot from it when it restarted, just restarted normally.

It says CD. Can I burn it on a DVD-R, and it will work?

 

[dai]

[Coolcat12]

Ok, I'm burning it on a DVD-R. I'll let you know what happens.

 

[Coolcat12]

Alright, I burned it. I will boot from it now. So is this like dban? Also so i clean my drive with this and then format and try install vista then? Thanks(answer all questions if poosible)

 

[dai]
