Disconnect all devices not absolutely needed for the installation.

The 1394 adapter is a "firewire" port. It could be integrated in
your motherboard. It probably could be disabled in the BIOS so
that you can proceed with the installation of Windows.

Many people do not ever use firewire devices (mostly video
cameras, some iPods) so disabling it may never be an issue for
you. When Vista's final edition comes out you may find better
support for the device.
