install failure

I've downloaded the 64 bit version, burned aDVD, and started installing. After the "loading files" screen the "Windows C 2006 Microsoft Corporation" appears, and there it stays, without any other feedback. Any clues on how to proceed? I have AMD X2 4200, 2 GB RAM, ASRock 939 Dual Sata II Mobo

You can try what iI did with the 32 bit having same problem....when it starts loading files {hit the f-8 key,as soon as it loads files it gives you the repair option's screen !! So at this point the installwas mine booted up in safe mode with command promt!!! Guess what it gave me the install screen and the wizard was rocking...10 min into and expanding files at 25%!!! =0 go baby go.... -- Without faith you are destined to fail !!!! But with faith we achieve our goals and are feared by those with no faith!!

Ok try this,when your screen shows loading files hit f-8 when the files are loaded it automatically brings up install screen and in 2 step's u enter your product key and off it goes....hehhe -- Without faith you are destined to fail !!!!

How long did it stay that way? Is the hard disk LED light blinking? -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

I trace the loading of the drivers, and it seems the installation stops when loading \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys
I've never seen installation halt just because of some disk is not recognized (I have four in my system, one of which is SATA, three IDE)

I have the same problem when booting in safe mode boot just stops when \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys is loading.

After disconnecting the SATA and SATA II cables from the MOBO the installation went further, but halted again after typing in the product keys. I downloaded the 32 bit version, it it installation was success (with the SATA cables disconnected, when connected the problem was the same). Oh well, this is beta code anyway...

Update ... attaching the SATA cable cause boot to fail again...

I am having the same problem with the disk.sys error. The installation made it past teh first two steps, then upon the first reboot into Vista, it chugged along and then I got the error "Could not load disk.sys.
I can reboot into safe mode and can get a command prompt... but I cannot get anything else. Does anyone know what to do from here?

How you trace the install program?

I can sorta confirm these issues:
Asus A8N-Deluxe (1017-004 Bios) using a Silicon Image Raid Setup leads to a stop at disk.sys in save mode and a bluescreen in normal mode.
I tried to disable the full sata system (nvidia ones, nvidia raid and silicon) at the bios, but no luck.
I tried to install on a 60gb IDE harddisk attached to IDE-0. I didn't try to unplug the sata cables, but since Bios didn't load the raid I think it doesn't matter.

I downloaded the 64 Bit version, burned a CD from the ISO. tried to install the new OS and received a 0XC00000E9 error code, installation never started, checked Technet for the error code but did not list any returns ? -- Alex Springfield, Vermont

I'm getting the same error. Setup gets exactly half way through loading files and then stops. Since the 64 bit version wouldn't even finish downloading for me, I'm trying to install the 32 bit version. I do have a card reader on my printer, but I unplugged it from the tower so that setup doesn't even see it.

Hello,
I can not complete the installation of Vista.
I am trying to installon top of Win XP pro, and running install from a CDROM burned from an ISO that is verified to be CRC correct.
The install seems to go okay, ( a bit slow), and gets all the way to completing the installation. When it goes for the final(?) reboot it goes into an endless loop of reboots.
I was able to f8 and stop the auto reboot option and found a BSOD with an error of 0x0000007E (0x0000005, 0x8428E731, 0x80406830, 0x8040652C)
my computer is a 80565GSA mother board 3 HD -- 2 RAID 0, and the third an IDE The video is integrated along with audio and LAN.
All the drivers are up to date.
The compatibility wizard indicates that I can install the Core program. But, it indicates that the SATA driver might need to be installed manually.
I know on XP install, I had to press f5 during install, but do not see an option to press anything during the install.
I do not think it is a SATA problem as Vista obviously reads from the drives enough to get through the initial start up enough to get me to f8 and the BSOD.
Any suggestions??? Will I have to clean install, and if so, in the event of failure, will the re installation of XP use up credits towards my program key???
Thanks,
