bbtrumpet is on a distinguished road
I can't install Vista x64 on my MacBookPro

I have partitioned the disk,I've insert Vista x64 OEM dvd, I've clicked 'Start Installation' but when MacBookPro booted, I saw only a cursor '_' flashing.

What should I do?

Thx.

My MBP Spec :

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz
2 GB Ram
Partitioned drive for Windows 50 GB

just bought it couple months ago.

Did you use the Boot Camp Assistant that's available in Leopard (if that's the version of OS X you're running)? I also think that the only version of Windows that's supported are the 32-bit XP and Vista versions.
