2 machines 2 failures

I'm trying to install on machine #3 now.
But the first is an FIC AU31 Motherboard and AMD Athlon 3000+ with Nvidia GeForce 4 Chipset. 128MB Video. 2GB RAM and 160GB Segate Drive. Setup stalled for an hour and finished with failure to find drivers for nvidia_4 display.
Second is a Biostar VIG400Pro and AMD Athlon 2400+ with Via Chipset. 64MB Video. 1 GB Ram and 80G Western Digital Drive. Setup failed with a Stop error on first reboot, 0x7b.
Ran the Upgrade Advisor on both of these machines and both had the green light to go ahead and install.
This 3rd try is an MSI KMv4 and AMD Athlon 1600+with Via Chipset, 512 RAM, 64 MB Video and also a Western Digital 80GB. I'm doing a separate partition for this one.

try reburning the ISO at a low speed, 2x recommended, also do a CRC check on the ISO to find out its integrity. Nero MD5 Verifier is a recommended choice. If setup still fails, its likely a bad download.
I use the one from Ahead Nero http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html
Here are the MD5/CRC values for x86 or x64 depending on which every ISO you downloaded:
x86 - File Size = 3.12 GB (3,355,598,848 bytes) - CRC Value = 0x67E089E0 - MD5 Value = 0E733AB1A8E8FF9A8684FD3639332773 x64 - File Size = 4.01 GB (4,309,368,832 bytes) - CRC Value = 0x48697711 - MD5 Value = E43502D0A15EADD551119D5639859E04
Paste the MD5 Checksum for either x64 or x86 depending on which one you want check in Step 1, Step 2 - Browse to where you stored the ISO on your drive and open it and it will automatically start the varification process and generate the has in the third field, if it matches Step 1, then you are safe. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Thanks for your reply Andre - I did the burn at 2x in Nero Ultra Edition and I checked the box that says "Verify Data upon completion" - is that the MD5 Verifier? I also verified with ISO Buster 1.9 Pro that there were no errors in the files before I burned it.
I'm not worried, I also ordered the DVD - it's coming in the mail, so I'll try again with that once it arrives.

Andre - I checked it with the verifier like you suggested and it was good, so I tried the virtual drive program and used that to run the iso image from the backup drive that was on the first machine mentioned ( the other 2 machines also failed to install).
The install was a success this time but I immediately lost connectivity to the internet. The system said I had Ultimate and the performance rating was #1. I had no success trying to configure the settings for the internet, getting system hangs. I tried safe mode, but everyting I tried to open to look at the connection would hang. I was able to open event viewer opened and there were 808 critical errors, system errors and windows errors. The biggest problem was that none of the tools would open to try to correct the connection, although the device manager did show the network card, a good driver for it installed and that it was working correctly. Since I couldn't activate the sysem without internet, I'm reverting back to my original system with a ghost image.

SUCCESS!
I tried to put my XP Pro back with Norton Ghost and it failed. Vista would not go away! So I wrote zeros to the drive, then the Norton Ghost image back on for XP Pro, then created a new partition as a logical drive for Vista, and it installed on that new partition without a hitch! It works perfectly!
