yet another 80070241 error

Have been getting the 80070241 error so I downloaded the ISO again and burned it at the slowest setting that Nero would allow. But, I still get the error.
I broke my RAID array and configured the SATA controller in the BIOs to emulate an IDE drive, and still got the error.
I can use this newest DVD, as well as the others I've burned before it, to install successfully on a system with an IDE drive, but not on the SATA system.
Any ideas?

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

Thanks Andre, my MD5 checksums are correct. My ISOs are good. I've been burning these at the 2x speed, but I still get the error.

Have you tried alternative methods of installing, such as extracting the contents of the ISO image to a folder in an existing installation of Windows and launch setup from there? Also, you could try using Virtual Drive tools such as Daemon Tools or NERO Image Drive. -- -- 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

I sure am glad to see Andre back posting here. I hope it will continue with frequency. All his ideas are great--just to add--if you try VM ware, another good alternative is as Colin has detailed often Virtual Server R2, a free download from MSFT or Virtual PC Here are some helpful links as to it:
"There's no greater high than using an unreleased operating system on a computer that doesn't exist"
For Virtual Server R2:
Running Vista under Virtual Server http://blogs.msdn.com/mikekol/archive/2006/01/11/511810.aspx
If you do go the route of VMware on your laptop, then you'll want to use this for Virtual Server R2 to mount Vista:
FINALLY: Virtual Machine Additions for Beta 2 are available http://blogs.msdn.com/mikekol/archive/2006/06/27/643152.aspx
From Mike Kol [MSFT]:
We've finally released the Microsoft Virtual Machine Additions for Windows Vista Beta 2!
You can download the additions here: http://connect.microsoft.com
