I read a bunch of msg's about this, chances are, you, along with every other anti microsoft user, used an ISO. I know i know, software that would be dirt cheap if not ran by profitiering gluttons.

Well, heres the deal, the disc needs to be burned at DAO (Disc-At-Once), or the iso was bad. Solutions i've heard were ~
1. Reburn CD after replaceing currupt file (how, no idea)
2. Reburn ISO at DAO
3. Copy cd to hdd and install from there (trying now as we speak)

Good luck
