unable install vista beta 2 acer aspire 1510 laptop

Installing Vista is impossible on an Acer Aspire 1510 laptop. I have 512MB internal memory and a C: partition of 20GB. Label of the DVD (so from inside the delivered ISO file): LB2CFRE_EN_DVD I tried: - Installing from a booted Vista-DVD on C: with Windows XP installed on it. After loading a lot of files in memory (moving bar in the bottom of the screen) and when the bar is complete the system crashes - Installing from a booted Vista-DVD on C: with a clean NTFS formatted disc. After loading a lot of files in memory (moving bar in the bottom of the screen) and when the bar is complete the system crashes - Installing from a Vista-DVD from a running Windows XP environment After copying a lot of files to the C: disc and after extracting files the same crash occurs - Installing from another partition (D:) from a running Windows XP environment. After copying a lot of files to the C: disc and after extracting files the same crash occurs I tried this to ensure that the DVD-ROM is not causing the problem. Crash data: ------------------ Stop 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x80978C64, 0x808048D0, 0x808045CC) pci.sys Address 80978C64 base at 8095F000 Date 446D1899
Suggestions (and fixes) are highly appreciated

Hi,
I'm haveing a similari problem with my desktop. When booting from the DVD, the setup advances until the screen "Windows is copying files..." and when the bar reaches 100% i experience a system reboot. What do I need to do to get the crash data visible?
