ok... heres my story... btw, i'm formating the drives before installing, but i do go back to xp SP1, just to let ya know ... i first tried to install but got 0x80070570 and then i read around and decided to burn it from my bros comp which got rid of that... then when i install it it works fine till some error at the end which had to deal with my onboard lan , fix that, but then the dvd just out of the blue gave me the error 0x80070570.. thats with the 7057 version... so i get my 7000 dvd and try it out and then a BSOD pops up.... with the STOP... and about its protection... so i try again with the 7000 and then it comes up with 0x80070570 error and i can't use both disk afterwards... they just give me the error each time... which is incredibaly irratating.... after all that i install xp back and run chkdsk... it's all clear... so any help or ideas... i'm gonna try the USB idea soon... hope to god, it works..... but i really need to find out why it refuses to work from dvd....i have never met any program or install system soo stuborn in my whole damn life .....
