I am running Windows XP Professional on a custom built computer. I bought the upgrade disk for Vista figuring I already have an operating system installed, so I don't need to pay the extra $100 to buy the full version. I put in the CD, it reads, reads, reads, then spits it back out. Basically like its not recognizing it. I talked to a friend that said it was because it was an non-genuine copy of windows so its not going to upgrade, but I can't get it to actually upgrade, its running the disk, but not loading. My question is... basically how do I get the Windows Vista to recognize the copy of XP and upgrade it without having to spend the extra $100 to get the full version.

I have dual drives. Both are CD/DVD/Rom drives, I've tried in both drives and they've both done the same thing. They read the disk, then don't recognize it as anything. I click on the actual disk drive while the disk is in, and it comes up empty. I know the drives still work, I use them every day.

I completely forgot about safe mode. I'll have to try that when I find the CD. lol (I know I didn't lose it, just have to unbury it)
