Upgrade to win 7 wont boot from CD

Hello, I am running Vista 32 and have purchased a Win 7 home premium upgrade from MS and I cant get it to boot from the cd. I went into bios and the boot order was correct starting with DVD/CD and it still wont do it? If I start vista and go into the DVD drive I can start it that way. I also wanted to use the 64 bit DVD that came with it because my PC is 64-bit compatible. How do I get this to boot on start OR can I just run from "My Computer" because the Win 7 screen does come up if I go that rout.

Thanks,
Chad

1) Did you buy the disk ready made or did you burn yourself? If yourself, try reburning at the lowest possible speed. Alternatively, make a win7 install usb stick, heres how:

USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create

2) You cannot do an upgrade install from 32 bit to 64 bit, you must clean install. If the 64 bit disk is also problematic, you can create a bootable stick the same way.

I purchased the CD's.... I have read the links provided prior to posting and everyone basically talks about whether or not a student copy can install as a full copy. What now?

you must revise you boot menu carefully because if your drive recognizes the dvd then its down to your boot menu.

Whether the student copy can do a full install was something that people talked about 1 year ago, the matter is completely settled now, see the link WHS provided.

If you dont have the downloaded student iso, just use the usb stick method.

what machine do you have, make/model?

I built my machine years ago and it is compatible with Win7

Those upgrade DVD's may not be bootable, have a look at this thread.

I opened the DVD and there is a auto start file..
