Some time ago, I installed Beta 2 on top of my XP with no problems at all.
Then I installed RC1 on top of that with no problem at all.
This was OK for a couple of weeks. Then I had a problem which meant I had to
reinstall Windows.
I have now tried to reinstall RC1 about 5 times, and whether an upgrade or a
clean install, I just get a reboot and then a BSOD! And, it happens at the
same place every time, i.e. about 21% into 'expanding files'.
At the moment I'm back to XP, but I'm really missing my sidebar!
Any ideas?
 
I got the EXACT same thing!! and I tried to install it 3 times! I installed
it on another computer, but it wouldn't do anything! It just locked up!!
Can anybody help??????
 
Hi!

I got this problem many times.
Finally, it works doing that:

boot with the dvd
clean install; but before, format the drive with the tool on the dvd.

Good luck! Roger
 
Well guys, I've almost given up!
I downloaded the ISO again, just to make sure. Then I tried a clean install
from booting the DVD. That didn't work as it didn't seem to like my RAID
array. Then I tried the usual clean install from within XP and got the usual
crash during the 'expanding files' stage.
I'm really fed up with this, and it would be helpful for someone from MS to
comment on all this as there seems to be many people suffering the sort of
issues.
