of vista to find that the x64 wont work for me even tho i have a 64bit dual
cpu the 1st problem i got was on a clean install x86 i should think its a new
build downloaded sunday anyway when it gets to copying windows files i
instantly get the green tick then on expanding files it gets to 10% then says
error 0x80070017 so read up here abit re-downloaded vista x86 then burnt it
slowest speed 2.4x i can on to 2 different dvd disc's now this is weord on a
clean install all goes well untill copying windows files get to 20% then
freeze's with both disc's so i re-installed xp home then tryed to upgrade
instead(sick of re-installing xp lol) now it get to 66% before freezing can

Could you please provide the hardware specifications of the computer you are
trying to install Vista in? Could you also please provide punctuation?
 
Hi,

Still sounds like a bad burn. Make sure no AV programs are running and shut
down everything unnecessary while running the burn. When installing, make
sure BIOS antivirus detection schemes are disabled. It may also help to use
a fresh disk if you are using RW media. Have you run CRC checks on the
images and on the disks?

If you can't type any better than you have in this thread, I would think
not. Believe it or not, accuracy counts!

well how clever must you feel coming to a place where people asking for help
and you comment on my typing cause somethings miss spelled or letters missing
well chuck davis you a*shole go fu*k off i been sat here 21hrs trying to
install vista and boo hoo i could not be bothered installing the software for
my wireless deskset so its not working to great but its ok mr co*k sucking
dum as* you just put me of asking for help her again if the people here are
like you i pitty you cause you could have been upsetting someone with a
learning or spelling difficulty yes you smile think your better than other
but just to remember what albert einstien achived in his life being thicker
than you fu*k face how much you have annoyed me by pointing out a sodding
keyboard mistake cause you did not have the brains to help pr*ck
 
You do realize that you're not going to get a lot of help going forward,
don't you? Sure, his comments were also unnecessary, but your response was
way overboard.
