Maybe before starting the install try performing a clean boot using msconfig
to make sure nothing running in the background is interfering. Another thing
you can try since you mounted the ISO is actually copy the contents of the
ISO to a folder on the root of your C: drive and begin setup from there using
setup.exe.

Thanks for reply but everything good now . i copied the whole iso files to
disk and ran setup from there and got through it.
