  Hi n m,

  Boot you from the DVD to start the installation, or have you started the installation in the existing version of Windows?

  I would like to know if you want to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation.

  You can not install Windows on an unallocated partition, if you install vista on brand\fresh the new hard disk, you will need to create partitions on the hard disk.

  Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

  Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

  Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below

• Product ID invalid when you try to install Windows XP on VMware.

  XP installation of VMware

  Hello

  I have a PC under win 7. and I am trying to Flash an old router to wireless access point for a spot of dead in my house. To cut a long story short, I need to Flash the router using a software program that does that on XP (I tried the compatibility options in Windows 7 and it does not work). Then I put on the implementation of a virtual machine using VMware and an old copy of XP, I had. However, when I try and install XP I get the error that the product id is not valid. Now, I know that the software is legitimate - it was part of a XP operating system provided with an HP laptop - so my question is how I can get through the installation? I will not buy another XP code - after all I will ever use again once I finished the flash - and for the same price, I could buy a new router!. I just want to save the Earth, a small piece of discharge potential and save myself $20!
  Any help appreciated
