Re: Vista will not install

The original ISO I burned was on this particular drive when Vista originally
was available on the TechNet site; it was written to a DVD+R. I have tried
several diiferent flavors of DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, etc. As I stated
earlier, the original ISO has worked flawlessly in several diffrent installs
on several different boxes. Sorry, guys, but I can't figure out much else
to do short of purchasing a retail version of the disk (but I'm pretty sure
that will fail also).

DVD-RW disks are often only readable on the drive they are made on or on a
another DVD drive from the same manufacturer as they are made on. I
suggest that you try a non rewritable DVD install image.

The MB's last released BIOS was dated 8/23/06; the one on it is same
version, but released 10 days earlier...don't know if that will make a
difference...may try one on the Tyan website. The board has never been
overclocked, in fact, there is no capability to do it in the BIOS.

Hi,

Check for an updated BIOS for the motherboard, and if you're overclocked
anywhere reset it to defaults.

I tried that several times (with only 2 GB instead of 4); I just tried
dropping down to 1 stick (1GB)...same exact results, i.e., at 28% of
expanding files process, DVD drive light ceases activity, the box sits
still for 8-10 minutes, then install process stops with same message,
..." windows cannot install required files, etc...Error Code
0x8007045d".

There is some hardware glitch with this Tyan MB that prevents either
flavor of Vista (32bit or 64 bit) to be installed.

When I ran Vista Upgrade Advisor from XP, no problems were
detected....and that was with all peripherals attached....I keep
thinking maybe its the ISO but it has worked with several other boxes
without any problems.

I have been trying to install Vista 64 on a Tyan K8SH/Opteron with 4GB
ram,
Fujitsu SCSI drive/LSIU320 controller. XPsp3 has been on the box
previously
(running flawlessly-have saved it in on another scsi ). The Vista DVD
disc
was originally downloaded from TechNet (I have used this DVD for
several
other test installs without any problems).
I keep getting the problem with the install at the same point in the
file
expanding process (28%)..." windows cannot install required

Code 0x8007045d". After much searching, no definitive answer has been
found.

Just for the heck of it, try it after removing half of your RAM.
