    Is the drive a CD drive or DVD drive, and is the disc a CD or a DVD? Is it a burned copy of Vista or one you bought from a store?

    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...

    Vista won't fit on a CD, it has to be a DVD.

    3 cd disc sets exist for vista but I'm not sure if you can get that in a retail package or not.
