error 8007001

I receive a file copy error 8007001 while trying to install Vista RC2. Any help would be appreciated. -- Thank You

Is this a network or CD install? BTW, Vista RC2 is not ready yet, do you mean Beta 2?

I get the same message too. About 15% of the way into copying files, I receive that error message. The ISO was burned at 2.5x and the MD5 code is what it should be - I checked.
I'm trying to install to a large, clean partition. Any ideas about getting past this error?

Actually, the error is 80070001 (forgot a 0 earlier).
UPDATE: Still having the problem.

I had a similar issue on a re-install -- wiped a physical drive clean and formated/partioned NTFS with a 3rd party program and got the same error as you on VISTA install. Then I restarted the VISTA install, and when I goy to the "install on drive" screen, I deleted the partitions and let the VISTA install program format and partition -- all went well after that. The only problem is that I don't know why the 3rd party NTFS format/partion was a problem!

Does your 3rd party partioning prog do anything with the MBR?
I had XP Mediacenter, ran the install from XP MC and had no problem. The system sits in another room so about once and hour I checked to see how it was doing, there was no error msg nor BSOD. Took a long time to expand the files, just had to be patient. I've seen some people that had to disconnect USB devices but I even kept my ext. hd going and had no problems. I don't think I did anything smarter, I just lucked out and had a system that came configured right for Vista. I think if people took their time, run the system upgrade advisor, read the warnings, and be ready to try different configurations they might get Vista running.
Key to all of it - make sure you have a way to restore Win 98, XP or whatever OS they have!! DO not try to install to an external HD. Make sure you burn the a bootable DVD. Just little things that can bite you in the backside.

I had just used a dvd disc to install the new beta of windows vista on my custom pc earlier today. Later in the day I attempted to install this on a laptop. I encountered this error code. I attempted to install it as an upgrade through windows xp pro and it failed. I also tried it through startup on restart. I even went to the extent of purchasing a new hard drive for this laptop to try on a new partition. It still failed. Through my troubleshooting I have concluded that the hard drive has no influence on this error. The disc has no influence, neither. It could have something to do with other hardware settings. It seems through others' problems that the error may fluctuate dramatically during the install. Thus, my hypothesis concludes that the RAM *does* have influence on this problem. The RAM may not need to be faulty, but the latency/size/type/speed/make/model/product line of the ram may have an effect during the setup. Keep in mind that this is just my hypothesis and it is most likely farfetched. I believe I have found a reasonable solution for this problem: 1. Put your hard drive in a computer in which the install completes successfully 2. Install to that hard drive 3. Put the hard drive back into your computer after the install, allowing for your hardware to be installed
Reply if it works. I am trying it tonight so I will update, too. Good Luck all :)
