laying down images error

I've tried installing beta two on a machine that is a
2.8GHz P4 1024GB Ram Sata HD 120GB clean install, clean hard disk.
Vista sees my drive and seems to want to install to it just fine. It will go thru all of the copying of files and will start the expanding files. It gets to about 13-17% and will then give me the error: "An error has occurred while laying down images." Then it cancels the install and goes back to the install now screen.
I have downloaded the iso twice and burned the DVD from two seperate machines. I get the laying down images error each time around the 13-17 percentage area.
Any help would be great on this. I am excited to try out vista!
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

File a bug. Look for a \panther folder which should contain some setup log files that need to be included in the bug report. For Feedback: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=55160
Feedback reporting tool: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=43655 try reburning the ISO at a low speed, 2x recommended, also do a CRC check on the ISO to find out its integrity. Nero MD5 Verifier is a recommended choice. If setup still fails, its likely a bad download.
I use the one from Ahead Nero http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html
Here are the MD5/CRC values for x86 or x64 depending on which every ISO you downloaded:
x86 - File Size = 3.12 GB (3,355,598,848 bytes) - CRC Value = 0x67E089E0 - MD5 Value = 0E733AB1A8E8FF9A8684FD3639332773 x64 - File Size = 4.01 GB (4,309,368,832 bytes) - CRC Value = 0x48697711 - MD5 Value = E43502D0A15EADD551119D5639859E04
Paste the MD5 Checksum for either x64 or x86 depending on which one you want check in Step 1, Step 2 - Browse to where you stored the ISO on your drive and open it and it will automatically start the varification process and generate the has in the third field, if it matches Step 1, then you are safe. -- -- 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
