If you do have a RAID configuration it would be appropriate to state it.
One solution for this error is here:

Another tac would be to test the DVD that MSFT sent you, since they are
concerned enough to question them by asking people to test them via the CRC
tool that they conveninetly buried on a Win FS site. If you have a
defective DVD via the tool, then simply write or call them and ask them to
send you another one since downloading the ISO from MSFT is not possible at
this time. You could also go after one somewhere on the web.
To test the ISO they sent you:
Download the CRC utility. To run the CRC test, open a command prompt and
run the utility. providing itthe name of the file (i.e. crc
c:\6.0.5383.1.1.WindowsSDK_Vista_idw.DVD.Rel.img) The CRC utility will run
two tests on the ISO: it will verify if the ISO is valid, and it will give
the AutoCRC signature for the file. The AutoCRC signature for the Windows
SDK Beta 2 ISO is 0x28434EEF. You should also confirm the size of the ISO is
correct: 1.14 GB (1,229,355,008 bytes).
If it fails any of these three tests, re-download the ISO.
I really like the direct link to it though if you right click CRC here>left
click Properties:
