80070241 error at installation

When installing Vista, when it is copying files I get the 80070241 error at
54%. I have 2 hard drives, one internal and one external. I'm trying to
install Vista on the external which has 170 gb left while my internal drive
has 20. 3 gb left.

So far, I've tried to mount the contents on Daemon tools, burn the iso again
on a DVD at 2X, place all of the contents on the DVD into a folder and
install from the folder and install from booting from the DVD but the
installation only copys files up to 54% and I still get the error.

I also had the same issue when installing Windows Vista, it appeared at 8%.
My HD was Seagate ST380013AS (80G SATA), 20GB for installing Vista (i.e.
C:\). Below was my system:

MB:ASUS P4P800 SE
CPU: Pentium 4 3.2CGHz(Northwood)
Memory:1G Dual channel
VGA Card: Leadtek Geforce 6800LE 128MB
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy
ODD: ASUS E616 DVD-ROM
DVD-RW: Pioneer A10XLC
PS: I'd already burned the iso file to DVD at the slowest speed (2x) using
Nero Burning Rom.
Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

I had the same error... It's due to the download of the image file. Download
it again and verify that download manager don't report problem (for me, I get
an error message and the downloading restarted).
I downloaded the image again and the problem disapears...

You guys are not going to believe this. I finally got Vista to install,
heres what happened and how I did it:

1. I pasted the download link into FIREFOX of all things. that is the only
way I could get a good download.

2. Burned the ISO to DVD using Roxio DVD builder @ 2X speed.

3. Copied all the install files to the hard drive in a folder labeled "Vista
Install" and ran the installation from there. It took 2 1/2 HOURS to install.

When Vista started for the first time, all I got was a black screen, working
mouse, and the build number noted in the lower right corner. NO graphics at
all and nothing works. I had to roll back the installation and am now back
to XP.

Talk about disapointment! Any thoughts? My machine is a 1.4 Gig celeron
with a GIG of RAM
