Keep in touch. This is a weird one I've never heard of. Good luck.

1) In your BIOS, disable "Plug and Play Operating System"
2) Clean your Vista disc with a mild solution and soft cloth - make
sure no scratches exist.
3) Make sure no devices are connected to any USB port

Another problem that I have on almost EVERY DVD. Grab yourself some toilet
paper, and wipe all the fingerprints off the DVD. It'll load much faster also.
use a light bulb at an angle to the DVD to see if you removed all the dust,
dirt, thumb prints, grease etc...

also you said your booting from the HD, but your bios disagrees. it says the
main is a HD. Go to boot like I said and set the DVD as the MAIN Boot drive.
Install your OS and when you're done, set the BOOT MAIN back to the C:\windows
on the HD.
Will do,as soon as i get home. A question tho,does that explain the
winload.exe error message? or will this bypass it and just install vista
in a new partition?

No, you are already set up to boot from the DVD. It just looks funny on the
screen, because of the highlighting; at first it fooled me too, so I went
back & looked.

The [WinXP/Vista] label merely says the plug&play in the BIOS is compatible
with those two OSes, not that you ever had XP installed. It has nothing to
do with what's actually *in* in the computer, and it is not to worry about.
Since you do have the CD as the first boot device, it is acting like the
CD's boot sector is also be messed up. Or else the CD is trying to boot
from the HD, but I don't expect or understand that...
If nothing else helps, maybe your dog can fix it (just kidding!).
Oh yeah - I wouldn't use toilet paper on the CD, I'd use microfiber cloth.
Or get or borrow a new CD...

I watched and took shots of your OS. The long 'loading' points to a dirty CD.
Taking extra time to read that particular file over and over again, and
eventually giving up with the corrupted error. This problem can also occur
AFTER the installation. setup disks sometimes just copy verbatim what's on the
CD, errors and all. I had a program ALWAYS fail at the same place. I had a
thumb print on the CD. It wrote a bad sector to the HD.
Cleaned the CD, removed the program and reinstalled, and it worked.
The odds that you have a bad CD compared to all the working ones is miniscule.
And not a reason to get a new drive, unless you know something about that drive
we don't.
As for using toilet paper to clean a CD, I've been using it for eyeglasses and
CD's for years. DRY TP, not wet. You can wet what you're cleaning. But a single
ply of TP won't clean much moisture. It works just fine. And much cheaper than
high cost TP with a fancy name. Actually I use single ply. If you have money to
burn, by all means get the fanciest named paper on the market. Do not use
Kleenex. I found the hard way why my eyeglasses never stopped blurring when I
used Kleenex. Kleenex comes with lotion in it.
I think a quick clean of the CD may fix everything.
Then again, you also have a dog. Dog hair gets into everything. You might need
to get some of that aerosol in a can[I have tech spray FREON], and blow the
insides of the drive out. Or vacuum the drive door.
