Windows Boot Manager Fails on Vista Install

[Guest]

I'm trying to install Vista Beta 2, after it boots from the DVD, I get an
error stating:

"Windows did not start correctly. A recent hardware or software change might
be the cause.

File: \windows\system32\winload.exe

Status: 0xc0000001

Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is
missing or corrupt."



Any thoughts on this? At this point I'm unsure if its hardware related, or
a bad download/burn of the ISO image. Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Sincerely

A bewildered sys admin...

Problem resolved... It was apparently a bad burn. After creating a new DVD
it has made it past that point, but naturally, I'm still waiting.

I'm getting this same error after it installs and does its first reboot.
I've tried to redownload the iso and reburn it still does the same thing.

i'm getting the same error, after it installs from the dvd and does its first
reboot. i've downloaded the iso again and burned a new copy, it still does
the same.

Have you read my posts on Winload.exe?
Have your bios autodetect all your hard drives..or at least the ones that
have an operating system on it. It will then continue the install and you
will have vista running.
Vista doesnt seem to detect the harddrives, and therefore unable to finish
booting from it. So you need to make sure its showing in the bios,
autodetecting.

OK Taz I read your posts.
The BIOS on my PC autodetects my hard drive but
the vista bootable CD is not working.

I had the same error.
