Vista installation stops at 'Expanding files'

[Guest]

I was able to download the Vista file and then write it to the DVD. The file
installation went along fine until I got to "Expanding files" at around 24%.
Then I got an error saying the installtion had to stop. This happended
twice. I don't know if it's the downloaded file, the installtion itself or
Windows XP that I am upgrading the Vista version to. Does anyone have an
idea what the problem may be? Thanks.

I'm experiencing the same problem with a Dell GX260 P4. Mine, however,
freezes at 24%, consistently. The screen sort of goes funky in the
background and I lose my mouse and keyboard functions. After a hard reboot
I'm back to square one on the install.

Frustrating, but that's why it's Beta.

I finally got Vista installed....and I think it was worth all the effort...I
was very curious about it. It's very nice but very buggy.

To install, I had to remove all my Norton programs and Acronis True Image.
Someone in this forum had stated that the Vista s/w was having trouble witing
to the Master Boot file...I agree and I think Norton and Acronis were the
problems. Good luck.

I, too, am not able to install on a ShuttleX computer. Installation stops at
the 50% mark of "expanding files" and locks up the computer. The installation
is from a Microsoft DVD. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
