| Re: 0xc0000221 error while installing Windows Vista The error code points to a system file or driver being corrupted. Have you used this disk for installation purposes before? Is the disk damaged in some way, scratched perhaps.
Also how are you trying to install vista? Did you change the boot order to boot form CD/DVD first? If not, change the boot order via the bios and boot from the disk. This way you will be able to reformat and do a clean install.
