windows vista beta 2 install error

i get this error when i enter cd key and click next "cannot load file image"
and then it cancles the install. why?

Hard to tell - but most likely it's a bad image on the disk that you're using
to install it. Clean the disc off (very carefully) and try again. If not,
try another one (or another download)

Did you check the checksum on the file that made up the iso when you
downloaded it?

You may have burned the dvd at too high a speed. MS advises using the
slowest possible speed. You should be using a function like "burn image to
disc."

Next post, please give some details about your system and how you are trying
to install Vista.

Had similar problems with my testbox, hardware issues. As it was a
clean install I put a base copy of XP in first then all the hardware
drivers for XP, then did an upgrade install of Vista over it. Worked
fine. My problem I think was using a ex HP Box Western Digital SATA
drive which I have had problems with before, it just happened to be
spare so I used it for Vista.

Try that approach, might work. Also burn another DVD at 2 x speed and
do not touch the PC while its burning a DVD.

I believe that is one of the file copy errors. That still indicates a burn
issue. Can you burn on the same drive that you will use to install from?

Some here said to use UltraISO from download.com
I did it and load from harddrive and it worked well.
Did not get it to load from DVD and I burn at 2X
Try it.
It works well
