Best idea is probably to reinstall from scratch. OS installs shouldn't encounter problems. Were you installing from an empty hard drive? When I had to install on an empty hard disk, I had to install XP first, and then install Vista from within XP. (I don't think the Vista disc can boot itself, I had the Anytime Upgrade Disc)

I don't have any disks as the laptop didn't come with any. There is nothing on the HDD ; its brand new. Error message says something along the lines of:

" This computer unexpectedly restarted. Windows cannot complete install at this time. Restart the computer and restart the install. "

I do. It pops up again and restart and the cycle repeats.

Yes they will work if they are vista disks but not if they are "restore" disks
