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?

If you're trying to upgrade I'd suggest you backup and do a fresh 64 bit installation instead. Microsoft has a document somewhere about supported upgrade configurations, I don't know if yours is on the list or not.
