Installation fails at "Expanding files"

Hey all.

My problem is that the first attempt at installing RC1 failed due to a dodgy
CD, and halted the installation at the copying files section (Around 75%ish).

The problem is now that everytime I attempt a reinstall, the setup simply
ticks the "Copying files" box at 100% immediately, and consequently fails at
the expanding files section (Obviously not all the files copied over).
Furthermore, I have attempted to reformat and repartition the drive, yet this
keeps happening.

Is there a way of forcing the setup to copy all the files over (Through
command line perhaps), and where on Earth are these files copied to?

Thanks,

Mike.
 
Hi Mike,
I'm not sure but this may get double posted. How long did you wait at
Expanding Files? In every VISTA install I have done, 6 so far, the Copy Files
completes almost instantly, then after quite awhile with Expanding files at
0%, it begins to count up.
I suggest to really be patient.
 
Hi Paul. I apologise as it seems for some reason the forum refused to accept
my posting, and now ive triple posted! Would probably appreciate it if a
forum admin cleaned up my mess.

The expanding files gets to 81% and then says "xx files are missing or
corrupt. Please press ok to restart the installation. D'oh.

Any clues?

I'm really not sure what to say. Have you verified the HASH MD number against
your down load?

Paul,
How to do the "verification" and what that means?
I have a similar problem, and I don't know what wrong I'm doing.
Thanks!
 
Hi,
Thanks to Mr David Wilkinson in a previous post.

Never try to burn without checking the MD5 or SHA1 hash. The RC1 build
5600 hashes are

"32-Bit
MD5 hash: 22486e815a38feffd9667317dfeec55a
SHA1 hash: e00b4ebbc81fb420cf047973b95a9cfb7cdf51b7
64-Bit
MD5 hash: f3a385aae6e4dea9226e31d9f1148b56
SHA1 hash: 8e4de7a72c828a3543ff1663243eb0836da07eea "

One HASH check program that I have used can be found here.
