having problems with my x64 version bootable disk, it boots but doesn't perform the update.

says something about cdrom not found

I did an x64 upgrade from CD with no problem.

I think you either have a problem with the CD you burned, or a problem with your hardware. I would try burning another CD first.

i just read the notes, it says use an atapi cd, I only have te usb multiburner, I have and attapi in my x6 base at work, I will try that one tomorrow.

Yep to update X61/X61s BIOS with Vista 64 installed you need the UltraBase.

It's about time they fixed this!

You also have to disable BitLocker if you are using it.
