so i'm trying to install windows vista home premiem on my laptop and when it
starts to expad the files the error cod shows up 0x80070017. i'm using the cd
that came with my laptop and i know nothing is wrong with it because i
previosly used it to re install vista on the same laptop before. i'm doing
the same exact thing as i did before so i doubt i'm doing anything wrong. can
someone help me please. my laptop is a gatway mt6821, and my hard dives are
both completly clean i reformated both.
 
Wipe the dvd with a soft cloth and try again. This is a crc error (corrupt
file). Tiny bits of material on the dvd can cause such an error. I hope
that is all it is rather than the dvd itself.

btw, what is happening that you feel you need to keep reinstalling the
system?
 
Besides the errr message, you will also see a description. Could ou please
provide me the description. I will give you an appropriate response
 
You can also try to perform a Flat installation. That is copy the contents of
the DVD to the hard disk and then try to start the installation from the HDD.
