0x80070570 error   

I am trying upgrade from win XP Pro to Vista Ultimate with no luck.  I am 
running a Asus board, with Athlon processor, 2 Gig mem, IDE drive.  I install 
all XP without any errors, yes it activated, and have tried patched and 
unpatched versions with the same results.  During the upgrade I recieve a 
error 0x80070570 system does not upgrade, resulting in a boot-loop.  I just 
bought the OS, it is not a download.

I don't think it is the DVD drive, since it reads the other install fine, 
and other CDs etc; The hard drive I would guess is also fine, since it 
installed the previous version fine, and I have refomated the drive on 
serveral occations.  The failure occurs at the same point  with the same 
error.  So I am note sure if I have a memory problem which is causing the 
crash, or if the media is acually bad out of the box...  which would be a 
first for me.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
