Vista Install Problem...

ukulele_ninja · 10-16-2007, 06:55 AM

Trying to install Vista on a new machine and It keeps getting stuck when it says its 'expanding files' it will come with an error that reads 'Verify that the installation sources are accessible, and restart the installation.' Not sure what that means, but could it be the hard drive is corrupt or bad? I formatted it before I began but no luck. Also, Im installing the 64-bit version of Vista, should I try installing the 32-bit instead?

Why are you starting a new thread on the same problem you describe in the thread at Hard Drive problem?

The issue deals with installing an OS I felt it was better suited for this board.

By the information provided on the other thread it sounds like you may have a bad disk or simply have something set wrong.
