I've burned this x64 vista ISO using Nero and CDBurn.exe and it won't boot. The wierd part is it's not giving me any errors. It burns just fine (2x or 4x) but when I reboot the computer with the DVD in the drive (yes, boot from CD is enabled) it just hangs when it tries to boot off the DVD. It's not completely frozen, ctrl-alt-del still works, but nothing else. I let it sit there for about 5 minutes or so and nothing happens.
Any suggestions? Do I have a bad ISO? Or does this sound more like a problem with my BIOS/MB/hardware?
Thanks!

Can't boot x64 DVD

sounds like a bad iso
i downloaded the public beta 2 x64 & x86 editions and was able to burn at x16 with nero 6.
When booting from a Windows install CD\DVD, and the boot fails, it means there is a hardware\ configuration issue. a BAD cd would be considered a faulty peice of hardware. a good burn of a Bad ISO would be considered a bad CD.
....just my opinion
good luck.

I had the same problem. Then tried the disc in another DVD-ROM drive and it booted fine. Exactly the same problem and same answer with the 32-bit DVD.
Problem is now I can't get it to install. Seems to load all the installation apps then hangs on a different blank screen.
