Disk Read Error During Install

Not sure why you had to reformat I have done 2 XP to Vista upgrades without
reformatting and never had a problem and did not have to re-install any
applications. In any case you are up an running now so that is the good
news.

I was following this thread because I have the same problem.
The solution mentioned by JCO however, did not work for me.
Here 's what happens:

Trying to install Vista Ultimate on following system: ASUS P5GC mobo,
500MB WD SATA HDD, 1 SATA DVD. Have reformatted the HDD because I did
not need to keep existing data.

Do you really mean 500MB?

To Johnny: 500GB harddisk instead of 500MB.

To Rick: I have no ATA drive present, only SATA HDD and SATA DVD
I did not format nor did a create an installation volume. I let set up
take care of it, but it didn't help.

I don't know if this will help, because it applies to XP. I found it on
another forum.

Some motherboards require the SATA channel to be set to emulate IDE
before an XP install will work. It can be returned to SATA or raid later
