error code 80070241 hardware issues

There are about MANY OF THEM WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ERROR WHEN INSTALLING!!! WINDOWS VISTA BETA 2 EITHER ON DVD KIT OR DOWNLOADS ISO FILE!!! I get this error also when trying to install Windows Vista Beta 2 on any way possible like upgrades from XP and Fresh Installatons... I download the ISO File using Internet Download Manager v5.0.3 and two times Download but the Error 80070241 still persist....There Some Hardware Issues on this or What???!!!!!

Burn at the slowest speed available. MS says three quarters of the file copy problems are not due to the image file but to the burn speed used.

I FORGOT ALSO!!!.... I Burnt the First Downloaded ISO File using NERO 7.2.03b version of Nero @ 2.4X SPEED, using my current DVD-WRITER... SONY DVD-RW DRU-810A, USING ALSO A SONY DVD+R DISCS, yes I burned it at very low speed possible at the choices in the Nero recorder parameters...@ 2.4X speed...below this is no more CHOICES so the 2.4X is the LAST CHOICES... but to no avail... ERROR 80070241 PERSIST!!! IS THERE A HARDWARE ISSUES ON THIS!!! and now I'll try my SECOND DOWNLOAD OF VISTA B2, this time i'll be using ALCOHOL 120% @ VERY LOW SPPEDS POSSIBLE, IF IT WILL NOT RESOLVE THIS THEN PROBLEM IN THE VISTA B2 FILE COMPILATION IS THE CULPRIT!!! AS TO THE MANY!!!

Maybe the problem is the DVD+R disc, why not try DVD-R DISCS...IF IT WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE THEN THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE VISTA B2 ITSELF...??? OR ANY HARDWARE ISSUES?????!!!!!!

MS can tell you till they are blue in the face that the problem caused by 80070241 is how you burned the DVD. Trust me it isn't. I downloaded this puppy 9 seperate times on my pc and twice on my laptop. Created 14 useless DVD's, NONE were worth a crap and I got the same error. I downloaded from my office and guess what, got a burnable, workable disk. Burned two seperate disks with it. One at the lowest speed with Nero and one at the highest speed. Both work perfectly.
MS is giving canned answers and it's rather annoying.

MS says it accounts for more than three quarters of the issues. That is not all of them but enough to eliminate that possibility first. It is very hard to tell from many of the posts with the way they are worded.

You mean it actually was a corrupted download/burn and your still complaining about it being a canned response?

Hey there,
I think there are loads of us struggling to get Vista installed. File installation is just the first hurdle... if you can't get it installed from disk, try Daemon Tools http://www.daemon-tools.cc which worked fine first time.
Another suggestion is to make sure you only install it on a partition, as there aren't a whole load of programs which are Vistable yet.
Finally, once up and running, give it some time, it's a bit slow at the start.

You heard me right barnyard, dont' get silly. The problem isn't the burn. These cable systems corrupt large file downloads by throttling the connections assuming you might be downloading illegal movies. Thank the RIAA for this.

Still not clear how this is Microsoft's problem or why you felt their response, though mechanical, was inappropriate, since it seems that their response was accurate. Would this issue not be better taken up with your internet provider?

I know for a fact it isn't Microsoft's fault because I downloaded both the x86 and the x64 ..ISO files and burned viable DVD's with each image file. I then installed both x86 and x64 from those DVD's without problems. So, the images Microsoft posts on their download sites are good images. Microsoft is not responsible for problems encountered downloading the images, nor any problems your hardware may introduce to the images when you burn them.

Isn't it absurd to believe that a DVD burned as any other DVD is, and accepted and verified by _whatever_ burning tool as valid, could be the cause of the error? It seems clear to me that something else is going on here.
Unless _all_ of us have no clue how to burn a DVD? Come now, let's be realistic.

Isn't it a bit absurd to think that a DVD burner that userA is able to use to burn anything else s/he wishes to works fine, and that suddenly it can't handle this one particular piece of software?
Why are the ISO files loading properly into the burning software, and why, on validating the process, does the burning software say it was successfully completed?
We have an undetected defect here, and blaming mis-burned DVDs is something of a red-herring I fear.

If the download was throttled, then why pray tell would the ISO load properly in your burning software? And why would the process complete, and validate, successfully?
