I am trying to go from 32 bit Vista to 64 bit Windows 7.
I am trying to go from 32 bit Vista to 64 bit Windows 7.
The 32 bit Vista was installed by mistake. My system can handle a 64 bit OS. Now I have finally found the time to upgrade. But the 64 bit intallation DVD can't be read from my OS. Any Advice?
Do I need to boot from that DVD drive? Will that work?

You cannot install directly over an operating system while it's in use. You'll have to boot from the disk. Plus, going from 32bit to 64bit, you'll want to do a clean install.
