Vista installation cannot finish the final stage++ Help++

Hi all,

Can you plz help me identify this problem?



My Sony Vaio laptop has a problem with sata hard drive ==> I bought a new one.

My system used to be Vista Business, so I wanted to install the same OS for new hard drive.



I divided into 2 partition Wins(C and data(D

Boot up my DVD ---> setup to Wins(C partition

When It came near to final stage ( Complete installation) ---> Restart the laptop



After restarting, the laptop is supposed to continue the installation. But there was a problem:



Laptop passed the Bios/ Logo screen ---> black screen with the message:

Press any key to boot CD/DVD .....



I didn't press anything ( so that the installation can be continue)



I waited for 4-5 mins---> the msg still there.



Restart the laptop and eject the installation DVD --> there was no msg, just the _ and black screen.



I waited 5 mins---> nothing happened.



I think there was problem with my installation DVD ---> change another one

( both my DVDs are used to work well few weeks ago)



The problem still exists.



Do you know what was wrong with my HDD or DVD?



+++++ I decided to find alternative way to install Vista Business +++++



I installed windows XP Home.

Everything was fine.

Computer boot up successful.

I inserted my installation DVD, and chose Upgrade option



The up gradation process was fine.





My Sony Vaio laptop is running windows Vista business now.







+++++++++++++



Do you know what caused the problem.?



thank you very much for your time.
