Cannot Install Windows Vista RDU 6/24/2007 6:51:00 PM When I attempted to install Vista on my HP laptop I received the following error dialog: "This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification." This makes no sense as I'm trying to upgrade on a clean install of XP Pro with all updates through today. Ideas? Thanks.

Re: Cannot Install Windows Vista "Carey Frisch [MVP]" <cnfrisch[ at ]nospamgmail.com> 6/24/2007 7:19:16 PM Your issue may occur if third-party DVD movie players or DVD disc creating programs, such as InterVideo Launcher or Nero 7 interfere with the reading of the Windows Vista DVD disc. To resolve this issue, uninstall the third-party burning program from the computer. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User ---------------------------------------------------------------------------­----- "RDU" wrote: When I attempted to install Vista on my HP laptop I received the following error dialog: "This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification."

Re: Cannot Install Windows Vista RDU 6/24/2007 7:57:01 PM Well Carey, you were right on that problem, thanks! Now, I've run into a new problem (though it may be my misunderstanding of how the upgrade system works). I purchased a fully licensed copy of Windows Vista Home Premium. I also purchased an additional license for my laptop via the Windows Family Discount program. Well, it took the product key for the discount with no problem but would not upgrade over XP Pro. My only option was to do a clean install. Am I to presume this is my only route & that I have to use the Easy Transfer tool to preserve my current settings, etc.? --Randy "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Your issue may occur if third-party DVD movie players or DVD disc creating programs, > such as InterVideo Launcher or Nero 7 interfere with the reading of the Windows Vista > DVD disc.

Re: Cannot Install Windows Vista RDU 6/24/2007 9:36:00 PM I noted one error in my response back. I purchased a fully licensed version of Ultimate, not Premium. The Premium version is what is loaded on other computers under the family discount program.

Re: Cannot Install Windows Vista "Ronnie Vernon MVP" <rv[ at ]invalid.org> 6/24/2007 9:38:02 PM RDU You are correct in your assumptions. You can only upgrade XP Pro with Vista Business or Ultimate.

Re: Cannot Install Windows Vista "...winston" <merlin[ at ]druid9#.com> 6/25/2007 4:58:32 AM It might be a matter of syntax. Did you purchase a fully licensed upgrade version of Vista Ultimate or a full retail licensed version of Vista Ultimate. I am assuming the latter, therefore installation of the Vista Home Premium version when XP Pro is the prior qualifying o/s requires a clean install. (i.e. it's not written anywhere but XP Pro to Home Premium is technically a downgrade). Xp Home and XP Media Center are the only in-place upgrades available when Vista Home Premium is being installed. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/upgradepaths.mspx ..winston "RDU" <RDU[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8841E0AA-1A45-47E1-8404-BDCBB4E0B408[ at ]microsoft.com... : Ronnie-- : : Please note that I corrected myself in a subsequent post.

Re: Cannot Install Windows Vista RDU 6/25/2007 11:16:07 AM No, I purchased a fully licensed upgrade version of Vista Ultimate. By purchasing the additional license through the Family Discount program, I was then given a product key to upgrade 2 other computers in my home to Vista Premium using the Ultimate DVD. However, based on your response & went back to the original family discount page & it states: "Purchase the Windows Vista Ultimate retail boxed product, and you can upgrade up to two additional PCs in your household to Windows Vista Home Premium for only $49.99 ($59.99 CAD) each.*" So, I would have had to purchase the retail version, not the upgrade version. What a rip! Of course, I found out afterwards via the "Windows Secrets" newsletter that there were workarounds to MS's scheme. Oh well, since I had done a clean install of XP Pro prior, with minimal software installation afterwards, doing a clean install of Premium won't be so bad.
