    Hello

    Here's the situation. Turned on 8530w for the first time and now you can choose OS to be installed, obviously. The problem is, there's only Windows XP professional available, even though the package contained Vista disc.

    On Vista business 64b disc it says "Constains software and drivers already installed. For software reinstallation and repair only". If they are already preinstalled, why isn't it listed on the screen?

    These OS disc came along

    Vista Business SP1 32b
    Vista Business SP1 64b
    Windows Xp professional SP2


    Sorry for being such a newbie.

    Edit, nevermind, problem solved
