Windows Vista Error 0X8007241 During Windows Vista Installation on IBM NetVista

[bbobinski]

I've been getting an error 0X8007241 on installation (At approx 4%=>27% of the files have been copied) to my computer, when the store bought direct from Microsoft legit, rewinds back to my legit XP Pro SP2. I'm attempting to install OS on IBM NetVista computer.

I've checked earlier, with the program that MS provides (Windows Vista Upgrade), to see if this computer is compatible with Vista Buisness and the program indicates IT IS compatible.

Does anyone have any ideas as to correct this problem?
