Default Installing Vista

Ok, so today I finished downloading Vista Public Beta 2 (BTW, bittorrent is much faster than downloading it from Microsoft, and as it is the same, it is legal ). I burnt it to a DVD, and tried to install it on a spare computer I have.

So, I put it in the other computer I have, and.... it tries to boot off the CD drive, but not the DVD drive (I have a CD and a DVD drive in that computer).

I changed the settings physically so it will boot off the DVD drive insted of the CD drive, and this time it does. But.... when it tries to boot off a cd/dvd, it either stalls and stays on "attempting to boot" or just continues to boot what is currently on there.

Any suggestions on what I should do? Need to know any info about it, just ask.

Default RE: Installing Vista

Do other dvd's boot properly?
Perhaps its the way you burnt the ISO, did you use Nero?
