If it had anything to do with a viral infection, you may very well still retain that same infection.

If it was due to a disk error, you may have a failing HDD on your hands.

Can you post back with the reason that you are reinstalling please.

Also, what is the error message when it 'cannot continue' ?

It could be a Memory problem particularly if yo have added some extra RAM to this Computer.

If you reduce the RAM to 1 Stick this may be sufficient to allow you to finish loading Windows but that only apples if the Install is falling over saying a file or Files can not be found.

Now first of all - which is it - [b]Vista Ultimate[/b] or [b]Vista Premium[/b] ?
