Vista - Yet another install problem

Hi guys, downloaded iso, burnt with nero to dvd, tried install booting to
dvd, also running image from daemon, problem "cannot read image file" tried
differant combinations, even copying dvd to folder and running from file. am
installing to partition with xp being the primary, have had same problem even
as a clean install on c: unpartitioned,Cheers Paul bristol

I've got the same problem. I've already installed x64, which incidently
installed and worked fine except there's hardly any drivers compatible with
it yet. Since the lack of drivers renders it virtually useless right now I
tried downloading and installing x86. I'm installing from a hard boot and
after I enter the product key it says "Windows failed to read image file" and
setup cancels. I'm going to try reformatting that drive before the install,
but it doesn't sound like that's the problem. I suspect a faulty download,
but I don't look forward to another 5 hour wait. Any suggestions?...anyone?

sounds like a bad download.
