expanding files problem !!!

I've had this problem for 3 days now and googled all I can! I have come
across people who have also had the same problem but found no conclusion
to it!

I have a Asrock MOBO, amd quadcore processor, 6gig ram...

Basically when installing vista x64 it does everything perfect untill
it gets too expanding files and it just stays there at 0%, first time I
tryed it, it got to 22% and just stayed there... My HDD is IDE not
SATA/SATAll does that make any difference? Or am I on the wrong tracks?
I thought maybe my HDD wasnt set up right in the BIOs and tryed every
setting and have the same effect.. I've build the PC myself

Also I managed to install windows xp x64 on it no problem but from
reading threads in order for al my ram to be used and to have advantage
taken of my spec I really need vista x64 not only that half the software
I use doesnt work on xp x64!

You using a valid retail version of Vista? What service pack level is the
DVD? Did you use advanced install and delete/create/format a new partition?

You really give no information.
