Can't install Windows Vista

Windows Vista crashed itself last week during some drive check up. So I had to back-up al my files to an external HDD. I then used a Ubuntu live cd to format my HDD, and now when I try to install Windows Vista from the DVD it doesn't show much.

I get something like this:


Except the Install Windows-box won't show up. So I only have the image on the background.

Does anyone know what's causing this?

Thanks in Advance

 

You can't select the 3 options and click on next?

No, NO, this is a serious test of all our deductive reasoning........................

you all have it correct as NEXT is the right thing to do...............................

Wow that was confusing...................................:stewpid:

I think he's saying there is no window with the next button.

 

Maybe so then he should have taken a photo of that other window.

 

you cant imagine other window ?
btw did you format partition from vista tool also ?:>
remeber its vista so you need to format it with vista xD

 

this
maybe try not doing that, vista will format as well

 

As I said in the first post

So I ONLY have the wallpaper on the background!

I DON'T Get the window where I can choose language to install and Time and Currency format and Keyboard or input method etc.
So i can't press NEXT

I'll post pics of what happens when I boot up with the Windows DVD in!

You'd be surrpised.

Unplug any usb devices if y had them

 

This. I had this on my laptop and thought something was broken but after waiting about an eternity it finally showed up.

 

Ok. I just booted the PC up, and i'll post back in 20-30 minutes

Do I also need to unplug my USB-mouse?

Thanks for the answer!

 

no, leave the mosuse but be patient ........

 

Ibitato, thanks alot!

This can be closed!

 

No problem,

Stay frosty...........

 

ya had this problem too back in the early Vista days, I just left it alone and went play a round of Call of Duty 4 on my X360, came back and it installs.
