    My Aspire 5520 is set to boot from CD, but when I put the Vista disk it, it won't boot from that disk. Does that mean this disk is unbootable?

    It's Vista Ultimate Upgrade. Apparently not bootable.

    Weird thing, when I popped it in my desktop to see if it was bootable, it ran through a chkdsk?
