Upgrade from Vista Beta 2 to RC1 fails

[Guest]

I have been trying to upgrade from Windows Vista Beta 2 to Vista RC1, but it
fails. I first downloaded the .iso file using the download manager, but then
after the upgrade failed, I redownloaded it without the download manager. I
reburned it to a DVD several times. I tried burning it to a DVD at 2x,
because I had found somewhere that that might help. It didn't.

The point during the upgrade where it fails is when it's copying files. It
says that there is a corrupt file, etc. Have other people been running into
this problem? What are some solutions? I've been hesitant to try a clean
install of RC1 to see if that works. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Whatever might or might not be wrong, it is pointless to burn the DVD
without checking the hash of the download.
