Burned the 64-bit ISO, booted with it, it loaded the installer, I clicked
"install now" it comes up with "Please wait..." and then just hangs. nothing
happens at all, no drives are being accessed, nothing.
 
Alternative install methods can be found here - option 4 :o)

It's the 64-bit ISO. I can't extract it and run it in a 32-bit environment. I
must install from boot/
 
Same hang here on either x86 or 64 bit DVD from Microsoft. It would be useful
to know your hardware configuration. I suspect my problem stems from using
embedded video on the MB. My config is:
ECS RC410L/800-M with Pentium D-805
1GB ddr2-533
NEC DVD/RW 3550A
Seagate 250Gb 7900-10 in IDE mode
Internal video ATI x/200 using 128MB shared memory
