Okay, I've been fighting this one now for almost a week and still it does not
work.
I have downloaded the 32bit ISO now 3 times (yes, the message about the
server being busy is probably because of me). Even though the MD5 checksum
is correct, people still tell me that it's probably a bad download.
I've burned close to a half dozen DVDs, all but the very first one at 1x or
2x speed. I've tried different burners, different burning software,
different brands of DVDs. If it's not a bad download, then it must be a bad
burn. All of these DVDs work perfectly in a second machine.
I can install in a machine with and IDE drive, but if I use SATA drives I
get the dreaded 80070241 error anywhere between 10% on up to 90% through
copying files.
I've broken my RAID configuration and used the drives as single SATA drives,
but still got the error. I set the SATA controller in BIOs to emulate a
standard IDE controller, but still got the error.
I copied the install files to a network share, created a Win2003 WinPE disk
and tried to install over the network. Still got the error. I copied the
files locally to one of the drives, booted the Vista disk and used the
Shift-F10 trick to break out into WinPE and installed from one local drive to
another, and still got the error.
My system is built on an Asus K8V-MX board, with a pair of Western Digital
SATA drives. I've installed WinXP as well as Win2003 on this box and didn't
have any problems.
The only option left for me is to install WinXP and attempt an upgrade. Of
course, this is not a good solution and I really hope that Microsoft will do
something about fixing this.
