Using all capital letters in a newsgroup is considered very rude. It turns
people off and you most likely will not get a response.

It sounds like you done everything you could except the most important thing
which is a crc check on the image/dvd. Get the utility and run one. You will
see it is not corrupt. Then you will post back with a normal question with
helpful details such as setupact.log entries and setuperr.log entries and we
will answer.

The most common causes of your problem far and away statistically are a
problem with a truncated download at some point corrupting your ISO or a
problem with the burn.

1) Burn slowly. I wish I had a nickle for every time Colin has quoted the
Beta 2 instructions on their "get the beta" page of 1-2X, but I have never
been disappointed with 4X. Some of this probably varies with the DVD writer
and the media.

2) Make sure to select an ISO tab if there is one on the burning software,
and make sure to close the session on the burn.

3) Try this tweak on your Windows XP drive and burn from there:

Get to Dev Manager by typing devmgmt.msc in run/win key + pause break or
Rt.click My Computer>Prop>hardware tab>Device Manager if you like 5 steps
instead of one cmd. If you're set to PMI here change to DMO and if set to
DMO change to PMI using these 5 steps:

1) Click the + in front of IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers
2) Double Click the Secondary IDE Controller
3) Click Advanced Settings
4) Under Device 1  Next to Transfer Mode choose DMA (or vise versa)>Click
OK
5) Reboot your System

6) Check your burn with a CRC utility and the links for this are below
including the direct Taco Bell link. It is very classy, sophisticated, and
very Wagner Edstrom/McCann Ericson esque for MSFT to adopt a Taco Bell url
for their public Beta 2 CRC checker. Rock on Redmond Rednecks.

Obtain CRC Utility for Vista Beta 2 Here: (The CRC utility is a way to check
the integrity of the ISO Burn which is probably where your problem
lies--it's #1 on the list):

Here's a link. I like that the direct link from the MSFT CRC link (among
other things--do an edit find for CRC on this link--is directly linked to a
Taco Bell link. 'Cause when I see a Taco Bell, I think of course of MSFT:

The CRC utility for Beta 2 is contained here (Scroll down to the bottom
under "Additional Information"

Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit (SDK) for Beta 2 of Windows
Vista and WinFX Runtime Components
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Additional Information:

To verify that your download of an ISO file for the Windows SDK Beta 2 build
is not corrupt, download the CRC Utility. (Note: this is not a Microsoft
application. Use at your own risk.)

To run the CRC test, open a command prompt and run the utility. providing it
the name of the file (i.e. crc
c:\6.0.5383.1.1.WindowsSDK_Vista_idw.DVD.Rel.img) The CRC utility will run
two tests on the ISO: it will verify if the ISO is valid, and it will give
the AutoCRC signature for the file. The AutoCRC signature for the Windows
SDK Beta 2 ISO is 0x28434EEF. You should also confirm the size of the ISO is
correct: 1.14 GB (1,229,355,008 bytes).

If it fails any of these three tests, re-download the ISO.

I really like the direct link to it though if you right click CRC here>left
click Properties:
http://tacobell.iexbeta.com/longhorn/crc.exe

Does this mean MSFT will ship Taco Bell with Vista? Is there a Taco Bell
feature in Vista? How about
Pizza? What about hotdogs?

Good luck,

CH

That's OK Chad, I couldn't get below 6x myself, but it did solve the
problem.

I wasn't knocking slow--I was emphasizing it, Colin. We are conditioned to
get things done fast, to "win races" but taking a little more time to burn
often pays off ayk and it doesn't take nearly as much time and involve the
frustration of spending a long time in a setup that crashes and burns. I've
certainly been there.

I suspect that the differences in hardware, optical drives, cleaning the
lens, etc.. differences in media itself and its compatibility with the DVD
writer you use all are significant factors some of the time, but other than
trial and error unless you have fancy equipment and training, I'm not sure
how you'd nail those down.
