Intallation error 0x80070003, cannot install Vista

I have tried at least 5 times now to install Home Premium. Every time in the
expanding step (the second one in installation) I get error message
0x80070003 stating some files cannot be found. What is wrong, obviously all
the files I have are on the disk. I am clean installing it on a wiped hard
drive that I format with the Home Premium disk prior to installing. Someone
please help.

Is this an upgrade disk or the full retail version?

I've been getting exactly the same problem as this when trying to install
Vista Ultimate from an OEM disc. It stalls between 3-5% through expanding
files. I've also tried upgrading from Windows XP Pro (SP2) and experienced
the same issue- the install does not complete. I've tried reformatting and
repartitioning the drive I'm installing onto (both using the option within
the install interface and also plugging the HDD into a different machine
running Vista for a full format), as well as using alternate install media.
None of this has been successful, and since then my PC (with a fresh install
of WinXP in the interim) will not recognise the HDD unless the WinXP CD is in
the drive. I have yet to try a flat install (will have a crack at it this
evening), though I don't hold out much hope.

You need to change the boot order in your Bios

I also shuffle the boot order in my bios and still no change

The problem's still the Vista install. I can get it to start, but five
minutes in it gives out as nharmon91 describes
Could this be due to having a SATA HDD connected, whether being used in the
install or not? I'll try disconnecting the SATA and running the install with
the IDE only and see if that makes any difference.

how much Ram do you have in the machine....I got the same error trying to
install ultima 64 bit with 4 gigs, had to remove 2 gigs to get the install
to run, then did a windows update as soon as it was installed and installed
kb929777, shut down added the ram back in and that solved mine.

I have 2 gigs, of DDR800.

I have seen other people posting with very strange install problems that
were fixed with a BIOS update for the motherboard. Might be worth a

I've (finally) managed to convince Vista to install.
In the BIOS settings, I located an option to set the boot order of HDDs
(rather than just the device boot order- I set this to HDD first, then DVD
drive), where I noticed the system was choosing my SATA drive first rather
than the IDE drive I was trying to install onto. I changed this to use the
IDE drive first, then tried to install (as an upgrade from XP Professional- I
haven't tried doing a clean install). The OS then updated flawlessly.
Let us know if this works for you, nharmon.

Sorry I'm not offering any fixes. I'm experiencing the same behavior as well. I'm attempting a clean Vista 64-bit Home Premium install on the following system:
-Asus P5NSLI motherboard w/NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI chipset
-Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 Ghz
-e-GeForce 7100GS PCI-E video card
-2GB DDR2 RAM
-WD 500GB SATA Drive
It hangs at 14% expanding files everytime. Here is what I have tried:
- updated the BIOS to the most recent version
- removed all cards except the video card.
- tried different Vista disk, dvd drive, and hard drive
- removed 1GB of memory
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks.
I also tried loading the winvista 64 bit drivers for my NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI
I also tried loading the winvista 64 bit drivers for my NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI chipset. I put them on a USB thumbdrive and selected 'Load Drivers' during the beginning of the Vista install. Still no luck. Now it hangs at 13% expanding files.
My next step is exchanging my motherboard for a new one with a different chipset. I could have a faulty board or the board may not actually be compatible with Win Vista 64 bit.
Exchanged the board for an nvidia 680i chipset. Installed with no problems.

The file not found that ms.com says is the cause of the error iscorrect.
The file not found that ms.com says is the cause of the error is
correct. however, their specific solution about a user file may be only
one of the causes.
In my case, after getting this file on install, I first changed the
boot order to be HD first, then CD. Then, on a force boot from CD I was
able to narrow down the error. In my case, there was a boot descriptor
from a previous install lingering on the disk.
Note that even if you use the Vista installer disk formatter to format
your disk, it won't update the Master Boot Record (MBR).
I still had a GRUB boot loader from a previous install of linux on the
disk. I was able to boot from a USB drive with a linux kernel and
flatten the HD. After that, Vista installed easily.
Standard cautions about Low-level formats of IDE drives hold; be
careful.
