Ok so I downloaded VMware Fusion and was able to install Xp Pro without a problem but I would rather have Vista well I tried installing Vista but everytime I am about 1/4 the way done installing Vista I get the Your computer must restart problem, where I have to power down my computer. How is it I can install Xp Pro and not Vista? Any suggestions?

64 bit wont work without a host operating system thats 64 bit and until they hack a kernel for us it wont be.

Yeah, I use VMWare to boot my XP x64 partition (Recognized as a Boot Camp Partition) some times.

still having the same issue after I patched the file. I keep getting the "your computer needs to restart.... grey screen." I thought that only popped up when there was an issue with a network adapter. Any suggestions??
