laying down images error?

[Guest]

I've tried installing beta two on a machine that is a

2.8GHz P4
1024GB Ram
Sata HD 120GB clean install, clean hard disk.

Vista sees my drive and seems to want to install to it just fine. It will
go thru all of the copying of files and will start the expanding files. It
gets to about 13-17% and will then give me the error: "An error has occurred
while laying down images." Then it cancels the install and goes back to the
install now screen.

I have downloaded the iso twice and burned the DVD from two seperate
machines. I get the laying down images error each time around the 13-17
percentage area.

Any help would be great on this. I am excited to try out vista!

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

File a bug. Look for a \panther folder which should contain some setup log
files that need to be included in the bug report.

try reburning the ISO at a low speed, 2x recommended, also do a CRC check on
the ISO to find out its integrity. Nero MD5 Verifier is a recommended
choice. If setup still fails, its likely a bad download.

I use the one from Ahead Nero
http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

Here are the MD5/CRC values for x86 or x64 depending on which every ISO you
downloaded:

x86
- File Size = 3.12 GB (3,355,598,848 bytes)
- CRC Value = 0x67E089E0
- MD5 Value = 0E733AB1A8E8FF9A8684FD3639332773
x64
- File Size = 4.01 GB (4,309,368,832 bytes)
- CRC Value = 0x48697711
- MD5 Value = E43502D0A15EADD551119D5639859E04

Paste the MD5 Checksum for either x64 or x86 depending on which one you want
check in Step 1, Step 2 - Browse to where you stored the ISO on your drive
and open it and it will automatically start the varification process and
generate the has in the third field, if it matches Step 1, then you are
safe.
