If you could install previous versions, it is likely that your DVD is corrupt. Try burning the image at a slower speed and download a different image (there are tons out there) if the problem persists.I just attempted to install version 7600.16385 x64. It remained an attempt as the install simply "hung" and couldn't continue after a reset. I haven't had this problem with any previous versions of NT 6.1, including RC 7100 (and later). Apparently something has changed in this version making it hardware-incompatible with the machine I was installing on (HP mh9452, less than a year old). Has anyone else encountered this ? IIRC there were a lot compatibility problems with older hardware when NT 6.0 was released but I can install that without problems on hardware that pre-dates that release by 4 years.

If you downloaded from a torrent site it may be corrupt to start with. Did you get the actual RTM iso or one of the ones pieced together? Did it pass hash check?

So are you using a copy that was obtained via a torrent site? If so, then that's the risk you take when using those..
Just because the HASH matches doesn't mean it's not infected with Malware or something worse..I'm sorry to hear your leaving Windows 7, Linux is an awesome OS as well but in my opinion Windows 7 is just as good..
With David Cutler working on the NT kernel Microsoft probably has the best software engineer on the planet. Windows and Linux are both crap. Before Cutler started working for Microsoft he worked on VMS. Now _that_ is a truely awesome OS. If Cutler had had it his way, Windows would have made Unix look like a pile of shit by now. Cutler has always wanted to do just that: make Unix look like a pile of shit. He, amongst others, did it once with VMS.Just because the HASH matches doesn't mean it's not infected with Malware or something worse..I'm sorry to hear your leaving Windows 7, Linux is an awesome OS as well but in my opinion Windows 7 is just as good..
