Hello all, am sure this one has been mentioned before so am sorry for Re-posting if it has, i just have limited access to the internet so im posting whilst i get a chance. I am currently installing Windows Vista 64 to a Raided (stripe) system its a fresh install on formatted drives and ive encountered nothing but problems along the way... the latest problem occurs during the intallation of Vista it gets to expanding files 10% and comes up with an error message saying " Windows cannot install the required files. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error Code: 0x80070003" After having googled it ive not found anything specific only people trying different methods of installing as i have allready! from 3 different DVDs (none illegal just lent friends copys i have my own code!) and HDD.

First confirm that- Make sure your Bios is up to date Unplug any peripherals such as, printers, external drives, microphone webcams etc. If all fails then copy the Vista disc at a slow speed maybe 2x and then try as it may be the disc. -- Ramesh MVP 'Ramesh Kumar' (http://itsmywindows.com) Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ramesh MVP's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18685
