Windows 7 beta error issue.

So I downloaded windows 7 beta from the microsoft.com, and I tried to install it then it gave me a error code of error code: 0x80070241. This happen's when it's trying to copy data either when I try to upgrade or partition my hard drive. Help or do you know where to get help? Thanks.

Probably a bad DVD, it happened to me too. I had to install Vista and then upgrade (using the downloaded ISO file in daemon tools) to get it working.
 
So are you saying that I should re-install vista then do it? And I am not very familiar with using daemon tools? Thanks for any help guys.

At this point it's probably too late... unless you've backed up the Windows 7 ISO somewhere...

Basically you mount the ISO to daemon tools and it sets up a virtual CD drive that you can update Windows with.

I took the software and burnt it with a isoburner, so I have it on disk, So what should I do?

Is that a serious question? :confused:

If you have another computer with nothing on it, you can experiment with that. If you have a spare hard drive, pop that in and use that. If you have nothing else, download a virtual machine program and install it as such.

I am using Windows 7 now, and I love it.
Before this my laptop was unbearably slow running Vista Basic. Now there is no slowness at all. I can't believe that it would run this fast on my laptop.

My laptop is:
1.86Ghz
1Gb Ram

and it is running it perfectly.
 
Well I got it loaded and it's nice. A few questions though, Are the cpu and ram gadget accurate? Because I had read that 7 was suppose to be faster than vista but those gadges show it to be faster than I expected. And I understand that a beta version is to show people there new product but what is the difference between the beta version and the one they are going to release? Thanks.
 
I have build 7000 for x64. On it now and it's much nicer to use than Vista, minor niggles have been changed which shows MS may actually be listening for once.
 
ok i have 7000 x86 an im getting lower FPS in games an a lower 3DMARK SCORE does anyone know why this is cos i thourt it was spost to be faster than vista
 
Well there aren't any official drivers for Seven. I'm using the Vista x64 drivers for my hardware and I get about the same performance however so it's not all bad.
 
Ah right. I'm not going to bother... thanks.

EDIT: How do you think it would run on a laptop with a 1.3Ghz Celeron and (I think) 512MB RAM?
