I Have tried To Install Windows Vista on my pc which was on it before.The installation gets all the way to the completing part then just restarts and then has the screen your computer was not properly shutdown, when starting it in safe mode it says: installation cannot continue in safe mode, please restart in normal mode to continue installation.I got by this problem before by making an xp boot partion on my secondary hard drive after reading it online and it was a success however i've looked for hours online and can't find that instruction guide i now have no idea what to do to get it to install.I do recall it was something to do with my hard drive.it is a maxtor quickview model:6l160p0 160 gig and its all i have for a hard drive
