Error 0xC0000225

[Peter Carlson]

During install the initial text progress bar goes to 100%, the screen
goes black, then I get the following error:

Unextected error has occurred
0xC0000225

and some text regarding recent hardware or software change, insert the
install disk, boot and hit repair.

This occurs during install,
ASUS laptop
ATI Graphics
AMD Athlon 64
512MB Ram

Have tried both 32bit and 64 bit installs.

That error code is often due to the BIOS not being recognised as fully ACPI
compatible. Do you have the latest BIOS update on the laptop?
