need installation halts after disk sys

My pc is a HP t3360.nl (nl stands for The Netherlands): Intel Pentium 4 processor 517 1 GB DDR2-SDRAM 200 GB (7200 RPM) including 6gb partition for system restore 1 DVD drive 16x 1 DVD writer 16x Asus EN7800 GTX (based upon Nvidia Geforce 7800)
I installed vista under XP (Home edition sp2) en the installer does it usual stuff: copying files decompressing files
After that the pc reboots into a black screen. I left it there once for 3 hours but nothing happened. Then I tried using safe mode with the menu option "Windows setup". Vista setup start loading all these files and halts when it reaches the file "disk.sys".
Is there a way to install Vista anyhow? I managed to install Vista on a virtual machine from VMware with the iso image and that means that the iso image is not corrupt. Also tried burning the iso at a lower speed (4x) and I tried using the iso image in a virtual drive.
I hope someone can help me.
Regards,
Marc
