    I have tried installing Vista on my Dell 1505 three times now. The installation process seems to go on smoothly until about 70% of the finalizing segment. The computer then restarts and I have to restore my previous OS(XP Pro). Is anyone else having this problem? Can someone tell me what is wrong? Thanks all !!

    Have you asked any of the folks in the Dell forum? I've never really been over there but I'm sure someone's had this problem.
