Upgrading from Vista 32bit to Windows 7 32bit
Each time I have tried to run the upgrade to transisition from Vista to Windows 7 I keep getting the folliowing message when about 20% into copying the installation files:
Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070241
I have went back and downloaded the install twice. I downloaded it from my MCP account and then from my TechNet account burned to CD and still the same results. I have been at this all day as you can tell from the downloads.
I've done tons of searches today and can't seem to find a solution.

I'm trying all areas of advice now. I just so happen to have another hard drive that I can use as a test dummy. I will get back to everyone tomorrow.

At this point, I'm not laughing at any suggestion. I've been doing this kind of work since the 386 days and this one has stumped me. I think I'm getting closer. Waiting on some more downloads form Microsoft. Also, I did the memory test first and all checked out good.
