Not able to go to next step

When I do customize and select "VISTADISK F:" (122 gb partition) it errors at
27% of Expanding files.

I also get the situation where it gets to about 27% expanding and then says
it must reboot to continue. It reboots to a black screen. I inspected the
disk following this and I have the following logs: smi-installer.log in
$win..\windows, setupact.log and setperr.log in $win..\sources\panther,
setupact.log and seupact.log in $win..\sources\rollback, and ntuser.dat.log,
bcd-template.log, components.log, default.log, sam.log, security.log,
software.log, system.log in $win..\windos\system32\config and schema.dat.log
in $win..\system32\wmi\store\machine.

The smi-installer log seems to indicate it was [done}. The setupact.log in
the panther folder had lots of stuff, a few warnings but nothing at the end
to indicate a failure. The ones in rollback folder seems to be what happened
after I brought XP back up.

Anyone interested in these files for diagnostic purposes?

Mine doesn't even ask to reboot, just errors.

Since some people are complete morons and post... how many is that? 6 threads
about one thing in a row! I'm gonna post this since my topic is probably on
the 50th page by now with people double posting.
