Install it from a USB pen drive, quicker and easier

I've just done another DVD using IMGBurn at 2x speed.

Let's see if this one fares any better...

I would install from a USB drive but I dont think this PC can boot from USB.

Sure your drive isn't going up the creek?

possibly but the install just sits doing nothing for 5 mins between stages, when it doesn't even need the DVD :S

Somethings definitely wrong there dude, on a crappy laptop the install properly flew, i was shocked. I was totally up and ready and good to go in probably 20 mins? Shocked at how easy Windows installations are getting now days! The install even had me connected to a wireless access point before i'd even hit the desktop!

Well, that was short lived.

WiFi card doesn't work and D-Link don't do Vista drivers for it. I might try XP ones but i'm not holding out much hope on that front. Lame.
