Vista Tutorial - Upgrade from business to ultimate

Why does it have to be so painful...

I am trying to upgrade form business to ultimate. After30 minutes of doing
stuff (which is supposed to only "unlock features"). I get the following in
the setuplog:

2007-10-06 10:46:32, Error [0x06420c] IBSLIB ReadOrWriteSectorsWinNt:

Tried it several time, tried inspecting the disk (with fix errors)...no
change.

Help please!

Detailing the steps you performed in attempting to upgrade would be
helpful - from the statement "...After30 minutes of doing stuff (which is
supposed to only "unlock features")...." - exactly to what does "stuff"
refer? Are you using an "Anytime Upgrade" key or the key from an Ultimate
installation?

Thanks for replying.

I am using the Anytime Upgrade DVD I purchased from MS. The steps are:

1. Launch the setup from DVD
2. Download the "newer" version sinc eit detects it
3. Upgrade starts (takes ~20 minutes to "assemble files")
4. Goes through a first pahse of upgrade
5. Give a vague error that states "Cannot continue with installation" and
the only real errors I find are in the file above in
C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.txt

I would appreciate any help.
