Error Code 80070241...Hardware Issues???

[Guest]

There are about MANY OF THEM WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ERROR WHEN
INSTALLING!!! WINDOWS VISTA BETA 2 EITHER ON DVD KIT OR DOWNLOADS ISO FILE!!!
I get this error also when trying to install Windows Vista Beta 2 on any way
possible like upgrades from XP and Fresh Installatons... I download the ISO
File using Internet Download Manager v5.0.3 and two times Download but the
Error 80070241 still persist....There Some Hardware Issues on this or
What???!!!!!

Burn at the slowest speed available. MS says three quarters of the file
copy problems are not due to the image file but to the burn speed used.

I FORGOT ALSO!!!.... I Burnt the First Downloaded ISO File using NERO
7.2.03b version of Nero @ 2.4X SPEED, using my current DVD-WRITER... SONY
DVD-RW DRU-810A, USING ALSO A SONY DVD+R DISCS, yes I burned it at very low
speed possible at the choices in the Nero recorder parameters...@ 2.4X
speed...below this is no more CHOICES so the 2.4X is the LAST CHOICES... but
to no avail... ERROR 80070241 PERSIST!!! IS THERE A HARDWARE ISSUES ON
THIS!!! and now I'll try my SECOND DOWNLOAD OF VISTA B2, this time i'll be
using ALCOHOL 120% @ VERY LOW SPPEDS POSSIBLE, IF IT WILL NOT RESOLVE THIS
THEN PROBLEM IN THE VISTA B2 FILE COMPILATION IS THE CULPRIT!!! AS TO THE
MANY!!!

 

[Guest]

Maybe the problem is the DVD+R disc, why not try DVD-R DISCS...IF IT WILL NOT
RESOLVE THE ISSUE THEN THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE VISTA B2 ITSELF...??? OR ANY
HARDWARE ISSUES?????!!!!!!

MS can tell you till they are blue in the face that the problem caused by
80070241 is how you burned the DVD. Trust me it isn't. I downloaded this
puppy 9 seperate times on my pc and twice on my laptop. Created 14 useless
DVD's, NONE were worth a crap and I got the same error. I downloaded from my
office and guess what, got a burnable, workable disk. Burned two seperate
disks with it. One at the lowest speed with Nero and one at the highest
speed. Both work perfectly.

MS is giving canned answers and it's rather annoying.

MS says it accounts for more than three quarters of the issues. That is not
all of them but enough to eliminate that possibility first. It is very hard
to tell from many of the posts with the way they are worded.

 

[Guest]

You mean it actually was a corrupted download/burn and your still complaining
about it being a canned response?

 

[Guest]

Hey there,

I think there are loads of us struggling to get Vista installed. File
installation is just the first hurdle... if you can't get it installed from
disk, try Daemon Tools http://www.daemon-tools.cc which worked fine first
time.

Another suggestion is to make sure you only install it on a partition, as
there aren't a whole load of programs which are Vistable yet.

Finally, once up and running, give it some time, it's a bit slow at the start.

You heard me right barnyard, dont' get silly. The problem isn't the burn.
These cable systems corrupt large file downloads by throttling the
connections assuming you might be downloading illegal movies. Thank the RIAA
for this.

Still not clear how this is Microsoft's problem or why you felt their
response, though mechanical, was inappropriate, since it seems that their
response was accurate. Would this issue not be better taken up with your
internet provider?

I know for a fact it isn't Microsoft's fault
because I downloaded both the x86 and the x64
..ISO files and burned viable DVD's with each
image file. I then installed both x86 and x64
from those DVD's without problems. So, the
images Microsoft posts on their download sites
are good images. Microsoft is not responsible
for problems encountered downloading the images,
nor any problems your hardware may introduce to
the images when you burn them.

Isn't it absurd to believe that a DVD burned as any other DVD is, and
accepted and verified by _whatever_ burning tool as valid, could be the cause
of the error? It seems clear to me that something else is going on here.

Unless _all_ of us have no clue how to burn a DVD? Come now, let's be
realistic.

 

[Guest]

Isn't it a bit absurd to think that a DVD burner that userA is able to use to
burn anything else s/he wishes to works fine, and that suddenly it can't
handle this one particular piece of software?

Why are the ISO files loading properly into the burning software, and why,
on validating the process, does the burning software say it was successfully
completed?

We have an undetected defect here, and blaming mis-burned DVDs is something
of a red-herring I fear.

 

[Guest]

If the download was throttled, then why pray tell would the ISO load properly
in your burning software? And why would the process complete, and validate,
successfully?
