I just recently bought a new laptop running Vista. I know very little about The Vista O.S. I have created a new primary partition, formatted it, and copied the i386 files to it. When I try to run the wnnt32.exe it will not run. I followed this exact same strategy with Windows XP pro and it worked great. Whats the problem and solution/ Anyone know?

Jump to PostThe problem is 2003 is older than Vista. You should install 2003 first in this dual boot configuration.
Jump to Postinstead of copying the files to the partition. you should use the cd to bot then install on the new partition you created.
