Setup error

Hi

I have managed to install the last ctp on my main pc and got it to dual boot
fine.

Now Beta 2 is not playing ball at all.

1 x 120Gb sata drive (current C: windows xp)
1 x 120Gb IDE drive (currently d: data)
1 40Gb IDE drive (E: Vista)

P4 3Ghz 1.5Gb RAM x800 xt sound blaster audigy 2 liteon dvdrw

First I try and install Vista from XP. I start the install and tell the
setup to install Vista on to E:, it copies teh WIM file to my C: drive then
starts to decompress files (stage 2) gets to 27% and asks to restart. Once
restarted the new Vista bootsreen comes up and it continues the isntall,
untill it gets back to decompressing the files where I get thie error
"Setup unable to locate Windown image files"

Lovely. I try again still same error. I re download the iso and burn it at
its slowest speed, still same error. I have copied the dvd onto my data drive
and run the install off that drive (much fast than the dvd isntall) and STILL
the same problem
I have also used a setup switch so that the temp files go to the E: drive.
Still same error.
If I boot up from the vista DVD and install Vista onto the H drive its fine,
but the install then changes the vista drive to C: drive and renames my xp
drive to e: (which was very annoying) After fixing this error and putting the
xp drive back to C: my xp install is working fine but I really really want to
install Vista now.

Can anyone help me with this here?

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to install Vista and after the files have been copied to my
machine, the wizard starts to expand the files. it's during this process that
my machine restarts and i get a blue screen while its booting up. The error
is:

*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x80803BB0, 0x00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

The message also states to run scan disk/virus checks if this persists.
Despite a number of reboots and trying to boot in safe mode etc, the error
will not go away. Any idea's on what could be causing it?

The Error "STOP: 0x0000007B" means Vista cannot
find your hard drive. You probably need to
supply a driver for you drive controller during
setup.
