If you have troubles with installing Vista, and your'e sure everythings fine, then try the following:
-Run a check to see if your ISO file is allright. (you can use Nero MD5) -Burn it at a low speed or mount it with a program like DEAMON tools -it might be completely broken, re-download it or order it.
I hope you all satisfied with this, i think mine's broken, so im going to re-download it.
Good luck all on installing

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. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

I just tried to install Vista x64 Beta2 - twice - got this same error at 74% . I chose Option #4 as Zack said at:
http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?getstarted Download - unzip- run it - select your ISO folder
It generates a file that ends in MD5 in that folder. Open a NEW text document Now - File-open- browse to that file You will see that it's just a text file. The checksum is on the same line as the filename.
My X64 download shows checksum is BAD - I have 8ec33bb91f4b8a364b349323cf5dcbda and it should be E43502D0A15EADD551119D5639859E04 per http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?getstarted Not even close !
Of course my X86 file is fine - I'm not using it on this PC ! Thanks guys. Gotta go download again - if I can . Bobb

If you have WinRaR installed it is killing the file. Dump WinRAR. You should get an .iso image file that requires no unzipping. Just burn the image to disc at the slowest possible speed your burning software supports. MS reports that over three fourths of file copy errors are due to the burn speed used.

You're right - although I typed "unzip", I dloaded the iso - not zipped I used Nero Express ( nero7): selected DVD - iso and burned it at 2x , I did a "verify after burn" and got no errors at burn time , so I'm d'loading again. when dload finishes, I'll check CRC and if good - start the burn and go to bed. I'll do it at 1x.

I'm using Nero 7 and just noticed - for my HP DVD writer, it writes at 4x and I cannot choose 1x or 2x from a dropdown. I tried Nero Express - image and Nero Burning ROM - ISO. The Nero manual says that if speed is not an option, I might have it " determine maximum speed". I tried a simulated "Speed test" - it shows 37x ?? - still can't select speed. Trying simulation from Nero Burning as I type and it shows write at 4x read at 34x , 35.5x - useless. If I try Nero Express and a DATA DVD, I can choose speed, but iso image - uses 4x and "greyed out". Bedtime.

WinRAR itself is not killing the file. I have WinRAR installed, and yes, ..iso is one of WinRARs file extensions, BUT, a lot of people have the 'hide file extensions for known file types' checked, so they do not see the .iso extension that is there...all they are seeing is a WinRAR file. So they try opening it with WinRAR which of course does not work (all they see is the readme.txt).
The file most definitely IS an .ISO file.

Then select File, Open and point it to the downloaded .iso file. You don't need to tell Nero what type of DVD it is and you should then be able to select any write speed (depending on the media used).

Same thing: In Nero Burning ROM here's what I see:
See - from the dropdown nothing other than 4x. Same in Nero Express . If I choose to just " make a CD/DVD", THEN I can select speed. I checked www.nero.com for updates ... I see on http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/versions.php that version 7.2.3.2b is the latest and I have 7.2.0.3 so I'll spend some time there downloading. Nero toolkit - product setup - UPDATE. Maybe that's my problem ?? I had checked HP for drivers yesterday - I'll let you know how I make out.
Thanks for the help. Bobb

Warning: Nero update is slow. Total update will be 51mb. On high-speed and in past ~ 15 minutes =17mb. It SAYS 15 minutes to go - not by my math.

Installed the NERO updates, rebooted - same thing - cannot modify speed of DVD burn. I've been thinking - when I bought the HP DVD, it came with an OEM NERO I then bought the store-bought full version - maybe THAT's the issue ? I would think the store-bought version would have the same utility as the OEM provider. I've only written 2 DVD's - data - and I didn't mess with speed option prior to this. I just checked the specs at HP and the 635iDVD writes UP to 16x , so why only 4x as an option - not 1x, not 8x, nor 16x? Any ideas ? If not, maybe I'll email HP tonite. Thanks again. Bobb

I understand your struggles. I can't come up with a better way to burn the DVD, because it seems that you have the mechanics and the tools in place. Nor can I offer a suggestion as to why you cannot burn at a slower speed.
I can offer some insight as to why, on a burner with a theoretical top speed of 16x you are only offered a max speed of 4x: Nero looked at the blank media in the tray, and I'll bet $0.25 that the blank DVD is rated as 4x.
Also, disable your AV software and, maybe you have already done this, go into your "Task Manager" (Start>Run>"taskman">Enter) and shut down some of the things that are running that may be interfering with the burn process by spiking the CPU usage.
No guarantees, of course, but maybe it will help.

I just checked - you're exactly right. Stamped right on the DVD is 4X . So, I removed the media: I THEN have an option of 1x, 2x , 2.4x and 4x. I chose 1x - got a "insert media" message - good. I popped blank in the drawer, closed - DVD led blinks occasionally and I hear a faint noise that sounds like a card in the spokes of a kid's bike with wheel turning. Just hangs. Exited Nero - same thing with different DVD disc - waited a few minutes - same faint noise for maybe 2 minutes. I then tried - choose 2x from the dropdown - insert media and wait.(no click on BURN) Once it detects a blank DVD, the speed changes to 4x and it's my only choice ! There's definitely a " use only highest speed possible" bit set somewhere. Found nothing at HP - heading to google.

There is a lot of burning software out there, you may still be trying to copy at 1x when RC1 arrives. I didn't know they still sold 4x, even in RW.

Of course my X86 file is fine - I'm not using it on this PC ! Thanks guys. Gotta go download again - if I can . Bobb

-Run a check to see if your ISO file is allright. (you can use Nero MD5) -Burn it at a low speed or mount it with a program like DEAMON tools -it might be completely broken, re-download it or order it.
I hope you all satisfied with this, i think mine's broken, so im going to re-download it.
Good luck all on installing

Thanks, Jane! I have been searching for three hours (well, that and mixing martinis and barbequing) for that little checker program for Bobb.

http://vista.visualwin.com/check-iso/ There is a link to a very nifty little md5 checker included, with instructions on its use. Worked for me :)

Andre, I can't get the DVD to install. ( Trying to see if burn issue or bad checksum). Since I keep getting the same - different from yours - checksum, I just downloaded the Nero MD5 verifier file that you mentioned and ran it. I get an error message when I try to run it on a an iso file - "wrong type". How did YOU get it to work ? And maybe that's why I have different checksum ?? You folks that have been successful in burning DVD ( Zack ?) , if you use FileCheckMD5 checker referenced on http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?getstarted , do you get the same checksum as Andre ?
E43502D0A15EADD551119D5639859E04 ? Or 8ec33bb91f4b8a364b349323cf5dcbda ? Like me
It's still raining so gonna try something other than nero - since with it I'm only creating coasters

"- Bobb -" wrote in message I just tried to install Vista x64 Beta2 - twice - got this same error at 74% . I chose Option #4 as Zack said at: http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?getstarted Download - unzip- run it - select your ISO folder It generates a file that ends in MD5 in that folder. Open a NEW text document Now - File-open- browse to that file You will see that it's just a text file. The checksum is on the same line as the filename.

wow .. and I had a "Fluffernutter" for dinner. ;-> I'll go read that now thanks. Latest update though:
I gave up on Nero7. I downloaded a few free isowriters. First one ( isoburn.zip): I unzipped and installed it but just got "cannot divide by zero" pop-ups one after the other when I tried to use it. Second one took a while to start , but then did work - CheetahDVDBurner.exe , so I made the iso DVD at 1x . Horray !
I booted it and when I chose INSTALL , I got " One of your devices is missing a driver - please insert disk." And I can't browse - it only will access the floppy. Which driver is it missing? " I know, I'll boot from the DVD that worked yesterday ( failed at 70% of install) and then swap just before install starts. I put that one in - same error ! YESTERDAY that same DVD booted fine and the install started fine - I chose the partition - off it went and kept failing at 70%. Today it can't find a driver ??? I made no hw changes - am I on candid camera ? " Thank you sir, may I have another?"

Please tell me that: 1. You have SATA hard drive(s) and, more importantly, 2. You have the drivers for the hard drives on a floppy

1. I do 2. I will in a second. Why ? You think it now wants the sata driver ? and yesterday it didn't need it ?
BTW - don't be alarmed - everything else on my PC is fine. I can boot to 4 partitions - it's just that now the CD doesn't start the Vista install.

It was a wild guess, actually, that the disc you had burned earlier was just doing something to feel self-actualized, and not really anything to do with installing Vista. Now that you have a disc that is doing all the right moves, we can begin. So yeah, it wants the SATA drivers. This is a good sign!
Now I have to go make more martinis, don't I? Isn't Beta testing fun? (imagine Chevy Chase driving to Wally world in Vacation)

Ok : After I typed the last message and I wrote: "YESTERDAY that same DVD booted fine and the install started fine - I chose the partition - off it went and kept failing at 70%. Today it can't find a driver ??? I made no hw changes. " I thought - what IS different today - and it's only those 2 iso apps. I uninstalled them, rebooted old CD - worked. ( meaning it got to "enter the serial number"). I rebooted the new Cd - it took a LOT longer ( sounds like seek errors) but it worked too. Excellent. So I enter the serial number and the new freaking CD says " cannot access the image file" Installation failed.
That's it ! I'm going drinking ! Really I am : and to all a good night.
